I – Hypoplasia/agenesis |
No reproductive potential; medical intervention in the form of in vitro fertilisation of harvested ova and implantation in a host uterus needed |
II – Unicornuate |
|
Non-communicating, cavitary horn |
Always surgically resected, as it is associated with dysmenorrhoea, haematometra, endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy |
Non-communicating, non-cavitary horn |
Surgery not currently recommended. No complications of endometriosis etc, as there is no endometrium |
Communicating, cavitary horn |
Also surgically removed because pregnancy that implants in the rudimentary horn rarely is viable |
No horn |
No treatment. Reproductive potential is possible |
III – Didelphys |
May consider metroplasty; however, full-term pregnancies have occurred |
IV – Bicornuate |
Surgical intervention rarely needed; may consider metroplasty |
V – Septate |
Often treated with transvaginal hysteroscopic resection of the septum. Conception is possible 2 months after surgery |
