Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 > I'm just wondering...what do you mean by a fused UD? Hi Valentina! Fused UD is pretty rare ... I think there are only 5 of us here. Basically, it is UD that fuses together. The main difference from UD and BU is that the wall between the two uteri is double the thickness of a BU wall. It is so rare that many MD's don't believe it exists ('s doesn't and 's needed my operative notes to confirm hers). Its important to remember that we can't think about MA diagnosis as a series of boxes people fit into easily ... its more of a spectrum. Me, I'm ultraviolet or infrared or something <grin>. I'm a rarer type of fused UD - one of my uteri is extremely tiny with very thick walls. My doc determined it too tiny to support a pg and we ligated the tube on that side. To see my photos from my first surgery, go to our Photos link, choose Our Uteri, and then open the folder marked . Click to enlarge it - it has captions. Be forwarned ... they are GRAPHIC! HTH a little - we're still learning about this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 HI , Thank you for your clarification! I guess that is why my doctor wanted to do a lap - she mentioned that some of her other patients didn't fall neatly into the UD classification. I guess there is still so much for me to learn! It really makes me nervous. Valentina > > I'm just wondering...what do you mean by a fused UD? > > Hi Valentina! > Fused UD is pretty rare ...
