Can a twin uterus give birth to a child?

Under normal circumstances, women only have one uterus, but in a very small number of women the uterus develops malformations, resulting in a double uterus. This is a congenital disease, and many patients with uterine malformations do not feel anything. Although it is a double uterus, it will not affect women's menstruation and life. It will only be discovered during some examinations. What people are most concerned about is whether a woman with a double uterus can give birth to a child.

Can a twin uterus give birth to a child?

1. A woman with a double uterus can give birth to a child. Although the chance of fertility is affected, she can still become pregnant and give birth. However, for the safety of the fetus and the mother, delivery is usually performed by caesarean section.

2. If a pregnant woman has a double uterus, she should pay special attention to prenatal examinations. Because the development of the uterine cavity will affect the healthy development of the fetus. If the uterine cavity develops poorly, the development of the fetus will also be affected. Women with Gemini should pay more attention to rest after becoming pregnant and try to extend the gestational age. Patients with double uterus often have spontaneous miscarriages, and very few have normal deliveries. In order not to affect the health of the mother and the fetus, they usually have to undergo a caesarean section to give birth successfully. Therefore, it is recommended that women with double uterus undergo a caesarean section after pregnancy.

3. According to literature records, the incidence of didelphys is 1 in 10,000-30,000, of which the incidence of twin pregnancies is 1.2%. Twins are mostly located in one uterine cavity of the didelphys. Simultaneous pregnancy in both uteruses and in late pregnancy is rare, with an incidence of 1 in 10 million. Therefore, the cesarean section rate is higher for double uterus pregnancy. Pregnant women need to rest in bed more and strengthen pregnancy checkups to avoid miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth. They should strengthen observation of the labor process during delivery, deal with complications in a timely manner, and relax the indications for cesarean section when necessary to ensure the safety of mother and baby.

4.Childbirth with twin uterus is usually carried out by caesarean section. During cesarean section for a double uterus pregnancy, because the uterus on the pregnant side is relatively small, attention should be paid to the choice of uterine incision. When making an incision in the lower uterine segment, it is advisable to make a small incision first and then cut it in an arc shape to both sides with scissors to prevent tearing at the corners when tearing by hand. If the fetus is difficult to deliver, a "T" shaped incision should be considered to avoid fetal birth injuries caused by forced pulling.
