Two women arrived at the same Ethiopian hospital with problems that could hardly have been more different. One was 26, pregnant for the first time, and bleeding catastrophically into her abdomen at 17 weeks. The other was 50, postmenopausal, and had spent five years living with a mass protruding from her vagina and worsening urinary symptoms.
In both cases, surgeons discovered on the operating table that the patient had been born with two uteruses.
