A member asked:

What is arcuate uterus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart shaped: Arcuate uterus is heart-shaped rather than pear-shaped. It's a minor malformation from development when you were an embryo. It usually doesn't cause any problem but your gyn should look for other related issues like endometriosis.
