Description

Abstract: This poster examines the congenital condition of uterine didelphys, a rare developmental abnormality in which an individual is born with two uteruses, using a case study in which a 33 year old female with this condition experienced continuous and painless intermenstrual bleeding of unknown origin without accompanying pertinent positives on review of systems and physical exam. This case study explores the potential causes of painless intermenstrual bleeding, including endometrial polyps, leiomyoma, endometrial hyperplasia, and ovulatory dysfunction, as well as their risk factors. This case study discusses the labs and imaging performed on this patient, and the evidence they provide towards the final diagnosis versus other differential diagnoses. Finally, this case study discusses the patient’s treatment plan and its relevance to the final diagnosis. The key objective of this study is to explore the uncommon medical consequences of uterine didelphys, and the signs, symptoms, objective measures, and potential screenings associated while determining a differential diagnosis.
