What is a double uterus?

Many people are concerned about what is called double uterus. It mainly refers to a situation where a woman has two uteruses. In this case, it is mainly a congenital uterine abnormality. At the same time, the double uterus will be caused by the complete fusion of the renal tubes, and the two cervices and vaginas that can produce two uteruses are not completely separated. The left and right uteruses each have a single fallopian tube and ovary. It is also a common disease. At the same time, it is mainly discovered during artificial abortion or prenatal examination during delivery.

It is important to conduct a collective examination. Women with double uterus are more likely to have symptoms of irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, for patients with double uterus, if one side of the uterus is hypoplastic, it is easy to cause dysmenorrhea. At the same time, patients with double uterus will have some symptoms during the menstrual cycle or some menstrual cramps.

Basic Introduction

The paramesonephric ducts on both sides of the double uterus are completely unfused, each develops into two uteruses and two cervixes, the vagina is also completely separated, and the left and right uteruses each have a single fallopian tube and ovary.

Symptoms and signs

The patient has no subjective symptoms and the disease is usually discovered accidentally during artificial abortion, prenatal examination or even delivery. During early artificial abortion, the non-pregnant side of the uterus may be mistakenly scraped, resulting in the embryo being missed and the uterus continuing to grow. The rate of abnormal fetal position increases in late pregnancy. During delivery, the non-pregnant uterus may hinder the descent of the fetal presenting part. Uterine contraction weakness is also more common, so the cesarean section rate increases. Heterochronic pregnancy can occasionally occur in women with a double uterus, meaning that after the eggs are fertilized at different times, there is a fetus in each uterus. There are also cases of double uterus and single vagina, or a septum in the vagina. This situation is similar to the double uterus mentioned above, but the septum in the vagina may interfere with sexual intercourse, resulting in difficulty or pain in sexual intercourse.

The paramesonephric ducts on both sides are completely unfused, each develops into two uteruses and two cervixes, the vagina is also completely separated, and each left and right uterus has a single fallopian tube and ovary.

Diagnostic tests

It is usually discovered accidentally during abortion, prenatal check-up or even delivery.

The above is an introduction to double uterus. If it is a congenital uterine abnormality, the double uterus will be caused by the complete fusion of the renal tubes, the two cervixes and vaginas that can produce two uteruses are not completely separated, and each develops into two uteruses and two cervixes, and menstruation cannot be discharged normally. If you discover double uterus in your life, you must carry out treatment and diagnosis and examination in time.
