What is a unicornuate uterus? A unicornuate uterus forms when one paramesonephric duct develops fully, resulting in a well-developed single-horned uterus with a normally developed fallopian tube.

If pregnancy occurs, the course of pregnancy and childbirth can be normal, but it may also cause miscarriage or difficult labor.

A unicornuate uterus is one type of uterine malformation, determined based on the specific size and shape of the uterus. Some can naturally conceive after treatment. The cavity of a unicornuate uterus is inherently small, so the rate of miscarriage after pregnancy is higher than normal people. If the endometrium is still good, the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is similar. For younger individuals, the success rate of IVF is about 50%. Babies grow inside the uterus, so any abnormalities in the uterus can affect pregnancy. However, having a unicornuate uterus does not necessarily mean you cannot get pregnant; as long as the size of the uterine cavity is normal, the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, and there is normal ovulation and other normal fertility conditions, pregnancy is possible.
