Introduction
In cases of arcuate uterus, ultrasound typically shows a normal or slightly concave uterine fundal contour; in cases of incomplete septate uterus, the uterine cavity may appear Y-shaped. It is recommended to avoid negative emotions in daily life and maintain a positive and optimistic mindset. Additionally, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the genital area to prevent infections. If any discomfort symptoms occur, timely medical evaluation should be sought.
If it is an arcuate uterus, ultrasound typically shows a normal or slightly indented uterine fundus contour. In cases of incomplete septate uterus, the uterine cavity may appear Y-shaped. Specific details are as follows:
Uterine malformation refers to congenital abnormalities in uterine development that result in structural anomalies of the reproductive organs. Normally, the uterus appears on ultrasound as having a fundal contour that is either arched or flat, with a cavity shaped like an inverted triangle. In an arcuate uterus, ultrasound examination usually reveals a normal or slightly concave uterine fundus, along with an indentation in the fundal endometrium, typically measuring 5–10 mm in depth. In an incomplete septate uterus, ultrasound may show a normal-appearing uterine fundus externally, while the uterine cavity appears Y-shaped, with a septum deeper than 10 mm extending above the cervical os, and a normally structured cervix.
In daily life, it is recommended to avoid negative emotions and maintain a positive and optimistic mindset. Additionally, attention should be paid to keeping the genital area clean and hygienic to prevent infections. If any discomfort or symptoms occur, timely medical evaluation and appropriate treatment at a hospital are advised.
