Does anyone know about heart shaped uterus and what you can do to fix them? My docor told me my uterus is in the shape of a heart and I want to know if maybe that's been causing my preterm labor and what can I do to fix it.

Depends on the degree of malformation.

If you have an arctuate uterus it shouldn't cause any problems.

A spetate uterus might depending on the degree of the septum.

If you have a bicornuate uterus - you should be able to carry a pregnancy but can expect early labour.

If you have a didelphic uterus again you should be able to carry a prenancy.

The problem arises if you have a didephic or bicornuate that only developed on one side. If you have a "rudimentary horn" on one side you run a high risk of uterine rupture! But it is exceptionally rare (like about 50 known cases including me

so yeah, anything you wanna know on the subject hit me up.
I know more about it than any doctor at my local hospital and i'm now back at school to get my exams so I can train the be a specialist gyn in anomalies of the uterus!

I don't think there is anything that can be done to "fix" it. There are plenty of people out there who have that condition and don't even know. It is considered a "normal variant," meaning that there isn't anything necessarily wrong with your uterus. I don't know a lot about the effects of uterine shape on the ability to carry a child, so I can't speak to that. I do know that people with polycystic ovaries generally have a higher rate of miscarriage and difficulties getting pregnant. I think you should definitely discuss your questions with your doctor.
