• #1 Uterus didelphys – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus_didelphys

  Uterus didelphys represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Mllerian ducts fails to occur. […] The cause of the fusion failure is not known. […] The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called Mllerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two Mllerian ducts into a single uterine body but fails to take place in these affected women who maintain their double Mllerian systems.

  A double uterus is a rare condition that is present at birth in some women. In a female fetus, the uterus starts out as two small tubes. As the fetus grows, the tubes typically join to create one larger, hollow organ. This organ is the uterus. […] Sometimes the tubes don’t join completely. Instead, each one develops into a separate organ. A double uterus may have one opening into one vagina. This opening is called the cervix. In other cases, each uterus has its own cervix. Often, there’s also a thin wall of tissue that runs down the length of the vagina. This divides the vagina in two, with two separate openings.

  Uterus didelphys occurs as a result of abnormal fusion of the paramesonephric ducts and is characterized by complete duplication of uterine horns, cervix, and very often also the vagina or presence of longitudinal vaginal septum. […] Uterus didelphys arises from incomplete fusion of Mllers ducts between 12 and 16 weeks of fetal life, followed by a dilation of the uterine horns, cervix and, very often, the vagina. […] The presence of a uterine defect increases the risk of obstetric complications, indicating the need for frequent checks during pregnancy. Above all, there is an increased risk of spontaneous miscarriage, preterm births, births in the breech position, and a reduced number of live births compared to a normal uterus. […] Uterine malformations are most often detected in patients of reproductive age due to fertility problems (previously no symptoms), as many as 28% of infertile women have a uterine malformation and 530% have a history of miscarriage.

  https://radiopaedia.org/articles/uterus-didelphys?lang=us

  Uterus didelphys is a type of Mllerian duct anomaly (class III) where there is a complete duplication of uterine horns as well as duplication of the cervix, with no communication between them. […] Didelphys results from failure of normal Mllerian duct fusion that occurs between the 12th and 16th week of pregnancy and is characterized by two symmetric, widely divergent uterine horns and two separate cervices. […] As with most uterine anatomical anomalies, there is an increased incidence of fertility issues, and Mllerian abnormalities, in general, are over-represented in infertile women. The chance of seeing a pregnancy to term is significantly reduced, down to only 20%, with a third of pregnancies ending in abortion and over half in premature deliveries. Only 40% of pregnancies resulted in living children. […] Along with unicornuate uterus, uterus didelphys has the greatest impact on reproductive performance.

• #12 Double Uterus: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

  https://www.medicoverhospitals.in/diseases/double-uterus/

  A double uterus occurs during fetal development when the two tubes that typically fuse to form a single uterus fail to merge completely. This anomaly results in two distinct uterine cavities, and in some cases, a double cervix and vaginal septum may also be present. The exact cause of this developmental disruption remains largely unknown, but genetic factors and environmental influences during pregnancy are believed to play a role. […] The occurrence of a double uterus may be linked to hereditary patterns, where a family history of uterine anomalies increases the likelihood of this condition. While specific genetic mutations have not been definitively identified, research suggests a possible genetic predisposition. […] Exposure to certain environmental factors during pregnancy, such as medications, chemicals, or infections, might contribute to the disruption of normal uterine development. However, concrete evidence supporting these influences is limited, and further research is needed to establish a clear connection.

• #16 Heart-Shaped Uterus: Symptoms, Causes, and Fertility Implications

  https://ivi-fertility.com/blog/heart-shaped-uterus/

  A heart shaped uterus is a congenital abnormality, meaning it was present before birth. It is the result of a baby girls uterus not developing normally in the womb. The two tubes, or ducts, called the paramesonephric ducts, that are destined to fuse together to form the womb, fail to fuse together completely. This leaves two upper parts with a horn shape diverging at either side. As it is congenital, there is nothing you or your mother could do or could have done to prevent or change this. […] However, in some cases, this anomaly arises from other risk factors, such as exposure to radiation during embryonic development, intrauterine infections during pregnancy, administration of certain medications, such as diethylstilbestrol or thalidomide. […] Most medical authorities agree that, although some other abnormalities of the womb may be associated with infertility, a bicornuate uterus does not usually have any adverse impact on your chances of conceiving in the normal way, or of the embryo implanting successfully in the lining of the uterus. Therefore, in this sense your fertility is not affected, but the risks associated with the condition come during the course of pregnancy.

• #17 Uterine Anomalies – OB-GYN New York | Gynecologists in New York

  https://www.mfmnyc.com/blog/uterine-anomalies/

  Congenital abnormalities of the uterus, or congenital müllerian anomalies, are malformations of the uterus that develop during the embryonic stage of fetal growth. […] When an individual is in their mother’s womb, the uterus begins to form in two separate halves. These two tube-shaped structures, called the müllerian ducts, later fuse together to create one uterus. For some, the connection of these two ducts is incomplete, or fuses in a way that results in an abnormal uterus. […] The prevalence of uterine anomalies has been reported in approximately 2-4% of reproductive-age women, and in up to 5-25% of women who experience complications regarding pregnancy outcomes. […] Certain anomalies pose a greater risk for some of these complications than others. An association between uterine anomalies and renal (kidney) anomalies has also been identified as they have related embryologic precursors (cells that later develop into certain organs).

  At her first appointment with Dr. Vash-Margita, Emily was told she had a complex condition called OHVIRA (Obstructed Hemi-Vagina with Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis). OHVIRA is a congenital, or present at birth, condition; it occurs when a girl has a double uterus, a missing kidney, and a wall of tissue that divides the vagina. […] OHVIRA stems from a problem with the Mullerian ducts, the embryonic structure that develops into the female reproductive tract. […] But sometimes, the tubes dont join as they should and instead two separate structuresor uterusesform. This is called uterine didelphys.

  Uterovaginal duplication with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis is referred to as the Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome. […] The exact etiology and pathogenesis of HWW syndrome are still not known, but are probably related to the fact that the Wolffian ducts play an important role in the precise development of internal genital organs as well as giving rise to the kidneys. […] Embryological arrest at 8 weeks of gestation is the cause of uterine didelphys with renal agenesis, and in the general population the reported incidence for this anomaly is 0.13-8%. […] This hypothesis is supported by Gruenwald’s experiment in chick embryos, where ipsilateral renal and Mullerian duct anomalies were produced following the destruction of the caudal portion of the mesonephros. […] For this reason, embryologic anomaly of one Wolffian duct may cause unilateral renal agenesis associated with imperforate hemivagina.

  From the Mayo Clinic „A double uterus is a rare condition that is present at birth in some women. In a female fetus, the uterus starts out as two small tubes. As the fetus grows, the tubes typically join to create one larger, hollow organ. This organ is the uterus.” […] „Sometimes the tubes don’t join completely. Instead, each one develops into a separate organ. A double uterus may have one opening into one vagina. This opening is called the cervix. In other cases, each uterus has its own cervix. Often, there’s also a thin wall of tissue that runs down the length of the vagina. This divides the vagina in two, with two separate openings.” […] My OB has laid out that I will most likely go into preterm labor. She congratulated me on making it to the third trimester and said it could be any day now Because the baby will just run out of room sooner. She said our goal is to make it to 35 weeks but to prepare for the baby to come before then. […] Next, she says that because my uterus is half the size, essentially it does not have the same pushing power as a normal uterus and she has found that people with Uterine Didelphys will usually end up with an emergency c-section if they first try to deliver vaginally.

  Uterus didelphys is a type of Mllerian duct anomaly (class III) where there is a complete duplication of uterine horns as well as duplication of the cervix, with no communication between them. […] Didelphys results from failure of normal Mllerian duct fusion that occurs between the 12th and 16th week of pregnancy and is characterized by two symmetric, widely divergent uterine horns and two separate cervices. […] As with most uterine anatomical anomalies, there is an increased incidence of fertility issues, and Mllerian abnormalities, in general, are over-represented in infertile women. The chance of seeing a pregnancy to term is significantly reduced, down to only 20%, with a third of pregnancies ending in abortion and over half in premature deliveries. Only 40% of pregnancies resulted in living children. […] Along with unicornuate uterus, uterus didelphys has the greatest impact on reproductive performance.

OHVIRA is a congenital, or present at birth, condition; it occurs when a girl has a double uterus, a missing kidney, and a wall of tissue that divides the vagina. […] OHVIRA stems from a problem with the Mullerian ducts, the embryonic structure that develops into the female reproductive tract. […] But sometimes, the tubes dont join as they should and instead two separate structuresor uterusesform. This is called uterine didelphys.

• #51 Wendy’s Story: Double Uterus | El Camino Health

  https://www.elcaminohealth.org/newsroom/wendys-story-double-uterus

  Wendy’s condition (uterus didelphys) is extremely rare, and it helps to know a bit about fetal development to understand it. In a normal female fetus, the uterus starts out as two tiny tubes. As the fetus develops, the tubes normally join to create a single, hollow organ (the uterus). Sometimes, however, the tubes don’t join, and instead, each one develops into its own structure. […] The condition affects anywhere from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 women. And, oftentimes, a woman is not aware of the condition until she has symptoms. Wendy’s condition had an additional complication. In one uterus, blood would collect and fill up „like a balloon,” according to Wendy. In medical terms, it’s known as hematometra.

  https://risaaivf.com/uterus-didelphys-causes-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment/

  Uterus Didelphys is a rare condition where a woman is born with two uteruses instead of one. This happens when the two tubes that form the uterus do not fully join together during fetal development. […] A double uterus develops before birth due to an issue in fetal development. Normally, two small tubes called Mllerian ducts fuse to form a single uterus. However, in some cases, these ducts do not join completely, leading to two separate uteruses. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to genetic factors. […] Possible Causes: Developmental defect: Failure of Mllerian ducts to fuse properly. Genetic factors: A family history of uterine abnormalities may increase the risk. Congenital condition: Present from birth, not caused by lifestyle or environment.

  Bicornuate, unicornuate, and didelphic uterus are generally not a direct cause of infertility. However, it might be associated with aberrant outcomes throughout the course of pregnancy. […] The complexity of the infertility problem takes into account both the presence of a patient’s uterine defect as well as disturbances in hormonal tests and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia in the patient’s partner. […] Pregnancy with uterus didelphys has an increased risk of preterm birth, so more attention should be paid to these cases. […] Uterus didelphys as an isolated anomaly is not an indication for either surgical treatment or termination of pregnancy by cesarean section. […] If uterus didelphys coexists with other medical factors, such as the presence of a septum in the vagina or the patient’s concerns, a cesarean section should be considered. […] The absence or scant clinical signs of uterine didelphys make early diagnosis difficult.

  It remains unclear what causes OHVIRA and other types of Mullerian anomalies. But Dr. Vash-Margita and several doctors and researchers have established an international consortium dedicated to investigating the genetic and environmental causes of these conditions. […] The team is running a clinical trial in which they are conducting whole genome sequencing in patients who have Mullerian anomalies. We test their mothers and fathers, too, with the hope that we find the genes that are causative or at least associated with this condition, Dr. Vash-Margita says.
