The uterus is a crucial organ for nurturing new life, and an abnormal uterus can have a significant impact on pregnancy. Therefore, many women pay attention to relevant knowledge. They may learn about a uterus called a saddle shaped uterus, but it is unclear what it is. What is a saddle shaped uterus?
The reason for the saddle shaped uterus is that there is a problem with the female's secondary middle kidney, and the tail end may have already begun to regress. Causing single vagina and incomplete closure of the bottom of the uterus, resulting in a bicornuate appearance during uterine examination. This kind of double horned uterus is called a saddle shaped uterus, which is an abnormal condition.
Sometimes, even if the uterus is not completely bicornuate, it may appear saddle shaped. Diagnosis actually requires going to the hospital for examination. Because the treatment of double horned saddle shaped uterus is done under laparoscopy, while incomplete double horned saddle shaped uterus is corrected through surgery under hysteroscopy. As for how to determine which type it is, detailed examination is needed, but both states are manifestations of a saddle shaped uterus.
A saddle shaped uterus is a sign of underdevelopment, which can affect a woman's chances of conceiving. Or in other words, due to abnormal shape of the uterine cavity, delivery cannot proceed smoothly. For example, primary uterine contractions lack strength, leading to a significant increase in bleeding after delivery. Therefore, if a saddle shaped uterus is found, timely surgical recovery is necessary.
