What is an arcuate uterus?

An arcuate uterus is a type of irregularity where the top of your uterus is indented. A typical uterus looks like an upside-down pear. Your uterus is not straight or slightly rounded at the top if you have an arcuate uterus. Instead, there is a slight dip or dent. This condition has not been shown to affect pregnancy and is not associated with any severe health complications. An arcuate uterus is congenital, so it develops while you are still in your mother’s womb. Most healthcare providers consider an arcuate uterus to be a normal variation of the uterus.
