        <p id="paragraph-72143acee1544e90a1c894bdc530d258"><bold id="s-9b917638c52a">Background</bold>: Due to the high prevalence and possible impact on the reproductive health of the of woman, congenital uterine malformation of female genital tract is a challenge for the therapeutic decision-making process. The current study aimed to evaluate the morphological anomalies of the uterus as observed by modern investigation techniques.</p>
        <p id="paragraph-52b7a70bb5df4a30bb2c0efee4a2f2f0"><bold id="strong-7e5b7322b6804c7c9ea9da01009424f4">Methods</bold>: This cross-sectional observational study was done in Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagnoor, Karimnagar, Telangana state. Women who were infertile and anxious to conceive and women were subjected to 2D ultrasound Screening followed by Hysterosalpingography. Those women who were fertile and found to have uterine anomalies and needed reconfirmation of the provisional diagnosis were subjected to Hysterosalpingography.</p>
        <p id="paragraph-8f9eeecbbd7d4d64bc35f90985907537"><bold id="strong-903e5210e3b24cd4ad3f01869bd95d6e">Results: </bold>Out of n=300 cases studied n=288 (96%) were with normal uterine anatomy and n=12 (4%) cases were detected with uterine malformations as seen by USG. N=5 (40.5%) had a Bicornuate Uterus. While uterus didelphys and unicornuate uterus were seen in n=2 (16.67%) each. Arcuate uterus, uterine septum, uterine Aplasia/Hypoplasia were seen in n=1(8.33%) women each respectively. </p>
        <p id="paragraph-e079314b318640ae91d611abbfb24baf"><bold id="strong-7765eb4dba5a45a5bb0eb551f37ef994">Conclusion</bold>: Due to the psychological consequences associated with infertility, the effects of uterine anomalies on the life of women are very important. It is critical to know the exact nature of the anomaly, to plan for the most appropriate treatment modality. As most of these anomalies cannot be rectified by medical management, they need surgical correction. For optimal results, it is important to know the exact type of anomaly for surgical correction. The 2D USG can be recommended as the basic modality to evaluate uterine anomalies. HSG/MRI may be used to delineate detail of anomalies if initially detected by the 2D scan.</p>
