What is a unicornuate uterus?
There are 2 parts during your development to form the uterus, but there is a group of uterine anomalies that can occur if these 2 parts do not form the way they are supposed to. Bicornuate uterus has 2 “horns” or halves that didn’t completely join to make the typical uterus, a uterine didelphis has 2 uterine horns, 2 cervix , unicornuate- only one goal for horn forms fully, the other half is there but so small it is not functional- called a rudimentary horn- the other half can function but cause pregnancy complications. Hope this helps- you can search uterine anomalies to see pics of these defects. READ MORE
