New to board - Have a question about UD

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I was just diagnosed with UD by my new ob/gyn. I had been having

problems with symptoms of a bladder infection (pain with urination primarily)

and was referred to a urologist. The urologist referred me to this ob/gyn due

to the fact I was having continual pain with intercourse and her treatments were

not helping that. So...I go to my appt. and come away going what?!?!?

My dr. was actually very knowledgeable about this and knew what it was

immediately during the examination. She said I have a vaginal septum, two

cervices, and two uteri (the left is definitely larger than the right, but we're

not sure by how much). I'm not planning to TTC right now because I've only been

married about a year and we want a little more time, however, we will probably

start within a year (I'm hoping for this time next year maybe). Regardless, the

dr. said there was no reason to remove the septum unless I chose to or continued

to have pain during intercourse. She was also sure that I had UD due to the

fact that I had two cervices. She recommended that before we started TTC that I

have an u/s and possibly x-rays done to determine the size of each uterus and

have a good look around. She also told me about the risks with pregnancy, and

wanted me to be aware of those but she didn't seem too concerned since we were

not in the proces of TTC now.

At the time, I had not heard of any of these anomalies and was comfortable with

her diagnosis and recommendations. However, the more I read here and elsewhere,

more questions pop in my head. So if anyone can help, my question is mainly, if

you have two cervices, does that mean you are definitely UD or can you have

another type of anomaly?

Thanks for all the help and encouragment!
