Bicornuate Uterus - Diagnosis

Diagnosis

It is possible to diagnose a bicornuate uterus using gynecologic sonography, specifically sonohysterography, and MRI. However, as there is no indication to do such procedures on asymptomatic women, the presence of a bicornuate uterus may not be detected until during pregnancy or delivery. In a C-section (usually done due to malpresentation) the irregular shape of the uterus can be noticed.

Other less reliable imaging methods include hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy; these procedures are typically done during the course of an infertility investigation.
