My doctor did a hysterosalpingogram and said that my uterus is abnormal. What does that mean?
Sometimes the uterus fails to develop correctly. This usually happens when the fetus is inside the uterus, before the baby is born, and it’s called as a “congenital uterine anomaly”. Uterine anomalies are thought to be quite rare and often they cause no problems and remain undetected. However, when there is a uterine anomaly then problems in pregnancy are quite frequent. In case of repeated, unexplained miscarriage and/or premature birth, a uterine anomaly may be suspected. Uterine anomalies can be diagnosed accurately, and often can be corrected making it possible for a woman to have a baby. A prolapsed uterus or a tipped uterus is not a uterine abnormality but they are considered uterine conditions rather than abnormalities or anomalies. Uterine anomalies are often categorized as follows:Septate uterus – a wall or septum partially or fully divides the uterus into two cavities.Unicornuate uterus – a banana shaped uterus with a single horn and sometimes a rudimentary second horn.
