Can Bicornuate uterusbe causing pain?
My 17 yr. old daughter is having discomfort in her pelvis and lower back. A diagnostic ultrasound showed a Bicornuate uterus but everything else appeared normal. Has anyone has pelvic/lower back discomfort from this condition?
Thank you very much for your response. I am getting a copy of the report sent over to my Gyn before I discuss this with my daughter. I don't want to alarm her. What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Hi!
With any type of uterine "anomaly" endometriosis is very common. If your daughter was my patient, I would either take her for laparoscopy/laser, or treat presumptively for endometriosis and see if she improved. Either way to go is acceptable. You may have a little trouble convincing some of the older doctors that endometriosis is possible in a girl so young -- this is a relatively new finding in some of the studies. Also, endometriosis looks different in younger patients. SO make sure to find a doctor who is up to date! (most are).
Good luck!
