'''Uterus didelphys''' or '''didelphic uterus''' is a [[intersex]] condition affecting approximately 1 in 3,000 [[Assigned Gender|AFAB]] people<ref>https://academic.oup.com/humupd/article/7/2/161/638048</ref>, in which one has double uterus and two separate cervices, and possibly a double vagina as well. Each uterus has a single horn and a single ovary. It is a congenital condition where the Müllerian ducts failed to fuse when in the womb. People with the condition may be asymptomatic and unaware of having a double uterus, how they are more likely to experience severe menstrual pains and pain during sex. |
