Uterine Malformation

What is Uterine Malformation?

The uterine malformation is also known as a congenital uterine anomaly. As the name may suggest, it is a congenital malformation that occurs in the reproductive tract of females. The condition may hinder pregnancy and may cause infertility. While some may have symptoms, many remain asymptomatic until diagnosed. At Guru Infertility Center , we run multiple tests to reach a conclusive diagnosis for the correct treatment plan.

What Happens in Uterine Malformation?

During pregnancy, the uterus separates into two halves that later connect to form one uterus. This is how a healthy pregnancy continues. However, in some women, the separated uterus may not connect back into one properly. In some cases, the ducts fuse in abnormal ways. This is when a mother may be diagnosed with uterine malformation.

Types of Uterine Malformation

Congenital uterine anomalies can be of different types depending on the location and severity:

  • Arcuate
  • Septate
  • Didelphys
  • Bicornate
  • Unicornuate
  • Retroverted or tipped uterus

Effects of Uterine Malformation

Commonly, uterine malformation affects pregnancy in females. Effects may include:

  • Miscarriage
  • Premature birth
  • Malposition
  • Cesarean delivery
  • Restricted fetal growth
  • Preeclampsia

How is Uterine Malformation Treated?

Depending on the type and severity of the uterine malformation, treatment is suggested. The doctor will perform a detailed diagnosis and also explain what parents can expect throughout the pregnancy. In some cases, surgery may be recommended. Connect with our highly qualified and experienced doctors at Guru Infertility Center for correct treatment!
