Dr Jasdev Singh
Correction of Selected Uterine Abnormalities
Some differences in the shape of the womb, present from birth, may be linked with miscarriage or early birth. A few can be corrected with surgery.
Fertility Preserving Gynaecological Surgery
Assessing the shape of your womb and treating what can be corrected
The womb forms before birth, and sometimes it develops a different shape. Examples include a septate, bicornuate or unicornuate womb. Only some of these, such as a septum, can be improved with surgery. Others are managed with closer care in pregnancy.
Learning that your womb is shaped differently can raise many questions. A different shape does not always mean problems with pregnancy.
Dr Jasdev confirms the exact type with detailed imaging before recommending any treatment.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.
What this assessment gives you
- An accurate diagnosis of the womb shape
- Surgery only for differences that can be improved
- A plan for monitoring in pregnancy
How your care is planned
Each stage is explained so you know why surgery is being considered, what it involves and how recovery will go. You can take time to decide.
Confirm the shape with a 3D ultrasound or MRI
Discuss whether surgery would help
Correct suitable abnormalities by hysteroscopy
What can be treated
A septum can be divided by hysteroscopy. Other shapes, such as a bicornuate womb, are not usually corrected with surgery. Kidney checks may be advised, as womb and kidney development are linked. Care in pregnancy is planned around the type of womb. Most women with a different womb shape need no surgery at all. What they do need is a clear diagnosis and a plan for pregnancy.
Who may benefit
Women with a womb abnormality found on scan, especially with recurrent miscarriage, early birth or infertility.
What to expect
Imaging is arranged first. If surgery is suitable, it is usually a day procedure. You will be advised when to try for pregnancy and what extra monitoring may be needed. In a future pregnancy, extra scans may be offered to check the baby’s growth and the cervix.
How Dr Jasdev works with you

What tests are needed?
A 3D ultrasound or MRI, and sometimes a hysteroscopy or kidney scan.
