Treatment Protocols: Close monitoring throughout pregnancy with regular ultrasounds Medical interventions to manage symptoms or prevent complications Surgical procedures such as myomectomy, septum resection, or uterine repair Assisted reproductive techniques if congenital anomalies impact fertility Delivery planning, which may involve cesarean section in certain cases to ensure safety Postnatal follow-up and additional interventions if necessary
