Does having a double uterus have any adverse effects on pregnancy?

A double uterus is a symptom of congenital uterine malformation. If there is no disease involved, it will not affect normal pregnancy. However, if one uterus becomes pregnant and the other does not, fetal abnormalities may occur.

1. A double uterus is a congenital uterine malformation. Generally speaking, a double uterus will not affect pregnancy, but the following problems may occur: when one uterus becomes pregnant, abnormal fetal position is prone to occur due to the influence of the non-pregnant uterus; during delivery, the non-pregnant uterus may cause dystocia due to obstruction of the fetus's descent, which increases the possibility of a cesarean section for pregnant women. In addition, patients with double uterus are prone to miscarriage, premature birth, malposition of the fetus, etc. after pregnancy. Therefore, try to try treatment first. If you can get pregnant after the treatment, it will be more beneficial to both mother and baby.

2. In a case of double uterus, one of the uteruses may become pregnant or both uteruses may become pregnant at the same time. When one uterus is pregnant, the other non-pregnant uterus will hinder the descent of the fetal extremities and cause uterine contraction weakness. In this case, only a caesarean section can be performed. When both uteruses are pregnant, it will affect the development of the fetus and make miscarriage prone to occur.

3. If a woman with double uterus wants to get pregnant, she must pay attention to pre-pregnancy check-ups, which can rule out adverse factors for pregnancy, such as uterine hypoplasia, genital tract inflammation, fallopian tube obstruction, etc. Examination can also determine the specific conditions of the two uteruses. Generally speaking, one of the two uteruses is well-developed while the other is underdeveloped.

4. At this time, you can monitor the ovulation of the ovaries through B-ultrasound, and try to get pregnant when the ovary on the good side of the uterus ovulates. This can prevent the fetus from implanting in the underdeveloped uterus, affecting the normal growth of the fetus and causing miscarriage. To sum up, pregnancy with twin uterus requires attention to pre-pregnancy and prenatal examinations and diagnosis to avoid miscarriage, dystocia and other harms to the fetus and pregnant woman.
