Other types include uterus didelphys, two separate uteri; unicornuate uterus—where only one duct is present—resulting in a smaller-than-average uterus; and septate uterus, which occurs the uterus is divided by a wall or septum. A didelphys uterus is characterized by complete failure of the Mullerian ducts to fuse leading to separate uterine cavities and two cervices.

A bicornuate uterus is one of the several types of müllerian duct anomalies. Studies have estimated that women with double uteruses have miscarriage rates of 43% compared to a miscarriage rate of 25% in women without the condition. In women with a double uterus, the two did not merge during fetal development. Depending on the shape of the uterus, the risks of miscarriage or premature birth can be higher in these cases. The pregnancy might end in miscarriage because the lining of the uterus has been damaged, or the pregnancy might occur in the fallopian tubes or cervix instead of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy). Most women with this condition are not aware of it unless they have a problem carrying a baby to term. The rate of miscarriage at this point varies significantly. It results in the developments of a longitudinal vaginal septum, two vaginas, and two hemi-uteri each with its separate ovary and fallopian tube.

Does anyone else have experience with uterus didelphys? I had a missed miscarriage in July (at 8.5 weeks) and don't know if it was due to the uterine abnormality or my pcos.

The incidence of this anomaly is 1 in 3000 . Of these, 90% had a septate uterus, 5% had a bicornuate uterus and another 5% had a uterus didelphys . Transvaginal ultrasonography indicated a uterus didelphys associated with a large mass of the right …

Uterus Didelphys is a congenital malformation of the Mullerian duct that occurs because of complete failure of fusion of the ispilateral ducts. A longitudinal vaginal septum is also present that may range from thin and easily displaced to thick and inelastic. During a fetus' growth and development, the uterus normally starts as two separate spaces and then they merge into one. Patients with uterine anomalies have a high Caesarean section (CS) rate (53%) which is highest (82%) in the uterus didelphys group [ 6 ]. In 8 subjects, there were improved live birth rate from 0% to 80% and a decreased miscarriage rate from 64% to 20% after surgical correction. It is associated with an increased rate of miscarriage, preterm delivery, intrauterine growth restriction, abnormal lie/presentation and caesarean delivery.1 2.

Weeks 6–7. Uterus Didelphys is a congenital malformation of the Mullerian duct that occurs because of complete failure of fusion of the ispilateral ducts. The prevalence of uterus didelphys in the general population is 0.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.1–0.6).
