Uterine Septum: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

What is a Uterine Septum?

A uterine septum is a congenital (present from birth) condition where a fibrous or muscular wall divides the uterus partially or completely. This abnormality can impact fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage or complications during pregnancy.

How Does a Uterine Septum Affect Fertility?

A uterine septum may lead to:

  • Recurrent miscarriages due to inadequate blood supply to the implanted embryo.
  • Difficulty conceiving because of implantation issues.
  • Preterm labor or abnormal fetal positioning.

Symptoms of a Uterine Septum

Many women may not experience noticeable symptoms. However, some common indications include:
✔️ Recurrent miscarriages
✔️ Irregular or painful periods
✔️ Infertility
✔️ Pelvic pain

Diagnosis of a Uterine Septum

Doctors use advanced imaging techniques to diagnose a uterine septum, including:

  • Ultrasound (2D/3D)
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Hysteroscopy (direct visualization of the uterine cavity)

Treatment for Uterine Septum

The most effective treatment for a uterine septum is a hysteroscopic metroplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that removes the septum to restore a normal uterine shape. This procedure:
✔️ Improves pregnancy rates
✔️ Reduces the risk of miscarriage
✔️ Enhances overall reproductive health
