It is likely that surgery is your only option. Surgery can create an opening so that menstruated blood can get out freely but it can also remove the septum between 2 parts of the womb. Birth control pills help only partially because they decrease the amount of the menstruated blood. Women with a separate uterus have a lot of reproductive complications. A separate uterus is treated by using transvaginal hysteroscopic resection of the septum.
You may want to consult a gynecologist about this.
