A two-uterus condition, also known as uterine didelphys, is a rare congenital anomaly where a woman has two separate uteruses, two cervixes, and sometimes two vaginas. This condition can be difficult to diagnose as many women with uterine didelphys experience normal pregnancies and deliveries.
Here's a breakdown of what a two-uterus condition might look like:
- Two separate uteruses: Each uterus is fully formed and has its own cervix.
- Two cervixes: These are the openings at the lower end of the uterus, which connect to the vagina.
- Two vaginas: This is less common, but some women with uterine didelphys may have two separate vaginal canals.
It is important to note that the appearance of a two-uterus condition can vary significantly depending on the specific anatomy involved. Some women may have two completely separate uteruses, while others may have uteruses that are partially joined.
The appearance of a two-uterus condition is not typically visible externally. It is diagnosed through imaging tests such as ultrasound, MRI, or hysteroscopy.
