Signs of a dysmorphic uterus
- Scanty menstrual flow
- Periods lasting only a few days
- Difficulty conceiving
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Failure to conceive after transferring a chromosomally normal embryo in IVF
Investigations used for diagnosis
- 3D-TVUS (three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound)
- Hysteroscopy + laparoscopy
- MRI
Hysteroscopy serves both to confirm the diagnosis and to carry out the surgical correction, in the same sitting.
