The female reproductive system develops from the pair of mullerian ducts, which subsequently fuse to create the fallopian tubes, the uterus and the upper four-fifths of the vagina. This process begins in the 10th to 17th weeks of pregnancy and is completed just prior to term. Throughout this process, the congenital anomalies of the mullerian system arise, the most common of which are uterine malformations, are associated with fertility problems. Multifactorial polygenic and familial factors are involved in their formation. The result may be deficient development (agenesis, rudimentary horn, unicornuate uterus), nonfusion (didelphys or bicornuate uterus), or defecttive canalization of the mullerian ducts (septate uterus).
The most common type of congenital uterine malformation is bi-cornuate uterus.
Women with this congenital defect are known to be associated with infertility, spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), preterm delivery, preterm prelabour rupture of membranes, breech presentation, cervical
incompetence, postpartum haemorrhage and increase rate of caesarean delivery. Studies have shown that offspring of mothers with bicornuate uterus are at risk of both deformities (limb contractures, scoliosis and club foot), malformations (omphalocele, terratoma, microcephaly and acardia-anencephaly.
Usually conceiving in a case of mullerian anomaly has no difficulty but rather in maintaining a normal pregnancy to its full term.
From our experience, individualized Homoeopathic treatment not only resolve congenital mullerian anomaly but also prevents any further complication throughout the pregnancy.
