When you’re trying to conceive and nothing seems to work, the issue may be deeper than you think – literally.
One of the lesser-known but significant causes of female infertility is uterine anomalies – structural differences in the shape or formation of the uterus.
At MHRT Hospitals, Hyderabad, Dr. Roya Rozati and her team have successfully diagnosed and treated many women with such conditions, helping them achieve healthy pregnancies.
What Are Uterine Anomalies?
Uterine anomalies, also known as Müllerian anomalies, are congenital abnormalities in the shape or structure of the uterus.
They occur while the baby is developing in the womb and are often not diagnosed until adulthood, especially during infertility evaluations or after recurrent miscarriages.
Common Types of Uterine Anomalies
- Septate Uterus – A fibrous wall divides the uterus, often leading to miscarriage.
- Bicornuate Uterus – A heart-shaped uterus with two “horns” or cavities.
- Unicornuate Uterus – Only one side of the uterus develops properly.
- Didelphys Uterus – A double uterus, sometimes with two cervices or vaginas.
- Arcuate Uterus – A mild indentation at the top of the uterus; less likely to cause issues.
Symptoms and When to Seek Help
Many women with uterine anomalies don’t have any symptoms and only find out when they face fertility issues or repeated pregnancy loss.
However, signs may include:
- Painful or irregular periods
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Difficulty conceiving
- Preterm labor or abnormal fetal positions
If you’ve experienced any of these, it’s essential to consult a fertility specialist.
How Are Uterine Anomalies Diagnosed?
At MHRT Hospitals, we use advanced diagnostic tools, including:
- Laparoscopy – Minimally invasive surgery for diagnosis and treatment
- 3D Ultrasound – Non-invasive imaging to assess uterine shape
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG) – X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes
Treatment Options
Not all anomalies require treatment. However, if fertility is affected, options include:
- Hysteroscopic Septum Resection – For septate uterus
- Laparoscopic Correction – For more complex anomalies
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) – Like IVF, if surgery isn’t an option or doesn’t fully correct the issue
