septate uterus
A septate uterus is a congenital uterine anomaly where a fibrous or muscular wall, called a septum, divides the uterine cavity into two sections. This condition can vary in severity, with the septum being partial or complete. Women with a septate uterus may experience complications during pregnancy, such as miscarriage or preterm birth, due to the reduced space for fetal development.
Diagnosis of a septate uterus is typically made through imaging techniques like ultrasound or hysterosalpingography. Treatment options often include surgical removal of the septum, which can improve pregnancy outcomes. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for women diagnosed with this condition.
