What is a uterine septum?

Uterine septum is a congenital abnormality of the uterus. It is a kind of uterine malformation. It is formed in the process of embryonic development. The fusion of bilateral accessory mesonephric tubes is blocked and the septum fails to absorb. After pelvic color Doppler ultrasound, hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy, it can be diagnosed whether there is a uterine septum. When there is a uterine septum, surgery is still needed. Hysteroscopic uterine septum separation can be done. Uterine septum has a great influence on pregnancy, which can cause abortion, premature delivery, placenta previa, premature rupture of membranes, abnormal postpartum bleeding and intrauterine growth retardation. It may also cause infertility. It may also affect menstruation, which may cause menstrual flow and menstrual dripping. Therefore, after discovery, actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
