Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you have a double uterus but you don't have signs or symptoms, treatment is rarely needed. Surgery to unite a double uterus is rarely done — although surgery may help you sustain a pregnancy if you have a partial division within your uterus and no other medical explanation for a previous pregnancy loss.
If you're pregnant and have a double uterus, your risk of pregnancy complications may be higher due to the smaller size of your uteri. Share any concerns you may have about childbirth with your doctor, because he or she may suggest ways to help prevent preterm delivery or manage labor.
