Saddle-shaped uterus is also a congenital developmental abnormality, which may affect women’s fertility, mainly manifested as infertility, miscarriage, preterm delivery and abnormal fetal position.
1. Infertility: Saddle uterus is also called bicornuate uterus, which is a kind of uterine abnormality, and will lead to difficulties in the fertilization of eggs, which will easily cause infertility.
2. Miscarriage: patients with bicornuate uterus are especially prone to miscarriage even after pregnancy. The miscarriage rate of patients with bicornuate uterus ranges from 28% to 61%, which is mainly due to the fact that the malformed uterus is not conducive to the development of the embryo.
3. Preterm labor: Because the uterus of patients with bicornuate uterus has a small capacity, it is especially easy for premature rupture of fetal membranes to occur in the late stage of pregnancy.
4. Abnormal fetal position: Due to the smaller capacity of the bicornuate uterus, the fetus will have less mobility in the uterus, and abnormal fetal position will also occur.
Women with a saddle-shaped uterus should seek medical attention if they have recurrent miscarriages.
