Reproductive outcomes of women with uterine anomalies: A retrospective study

Abstract

Aim: To analyse the reproductive performance of women with uterine anomalies. Materials and Methods: It is a Retrospective study carried out over a period of one year from April 2022 to April 2023 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Al-Ameen Medical College and Hospital, Vijayapura. Ethical clearance was taken. A total of nine cases were studied. Result: Our Study observed that; there were total of 23 pregnancies in 9 patients, which include 4 (17.4%) miscarriage 6 (26.1%) preterm deliveries, 12 term deliveries (52%) and 1IUD. In 9 patients with uterine anomaly; 6 were Unicornuate uterus 6 (67%), 2 were septate (22.2%), and uterine didelphys 1 (11.1%).Conclusion: Uterine anomalies are not always associated with poor obstetric outcomes, as many of our patients conceived spontaneously and continued till term. So, reproductive outcomes depend on the type of anomaly and the degree of severity. Hence, patients with uterine anomalies need to be properly counselled and evaluated for a better outcome.
