You need to speak to an Ob/Gyn regarding this issue. Your uterus forms from 2 tubes that come together and the middle dissolves. For whatever reason, you only developed 1 tube. Your uterus will have less muscle mass and stretching capabilities. So, if/when you get pregnant, it puts you at risk for preterm contractions/labor and your baby facing the wrong direction. From a gyn standpoint, it puts you at risk for endometriosis where the lining of the uterus gets into your abdomen and causes pain, pain with cycles, and pain with intercourse. Most of the time, you do not know your uterus is even abnormal until you have a baby.
