Medical Conditions - Mullerian Duct Anomalies

Mullerian duct is a structure seen in embryos that eventually develops into the female reproductive tract, including the uterus, upper part of the vagina, and cervix. Abnormalities in the Mullerian duct development can lead to congenital anomalies that are present from birth. About seven percent of women in the global population may have mullerian duct anomalies. The most common form of the Mullerian duct anomaly is the bicornuate uterus, in which the uterus has two horns and is shaped like a heart instead of a pear.
