What Is Uterine Didelphys?
Uterine didelphys is a congenital uterine anomaly in which two separate uterine cavities develop. Some people also have two cervices or other associated reproductive tract differences.
Uterine Didelphys & Fertility
Many people with uterine didelphys conceive naturally. The anatomy may be more relevant to pregnancy management and obstetric outcomes than to the ability to conceive.
How Uterine Didelphys Is Evaluated
Imaging such as three-dimensional ultrasound or MRI can help characterize the anatomy and distinguish uterine didelphys from conditions such as bicornuate uterus or unicornuate uterus.
Common Uterine Didelphys Questions
Can you get pregnant with uterine didelphys?
Yes. Many people with uterine didelphys conceive naturally.
Does uterine didelphys cause infertility?
Not necessarily. Its clinical significance is often greater during pregnancy than during conception.
Does uterine didelphys usually require surgery?
No. Surgery is not routinely recommended solely because two uterine cavities are present.
Understanding Uterine Didelphys in the Context of Your Fertility
Uterine didelphys describes how the uterus developed; it does not by itself define your fertility. Many people with this anatomy conceive naturally, although pregnancy care may need to account for the uterine structure. Spring Fertility can help you understand your individual anatomy and determine whether it meaningfully changes your fertility or treatment planning.
