Habitual aboion is the most impoant indication for surgical treatment of women who have a double uterus. The aboion rate in women who have a double uterus is to three times greater than that of the general population.

Dysmenorrhea, premature delivery, dyspareunia, and menometrorrhagia are other, less impoant indicators for surgical intervention.
