Septate uterus, how to operate, method, and what to pay attention to

Here, I would like to share with you some knowledge about the uterus. We all know that uterine septum is a form of uterine malignant malformation, and it can cause many difficulties for women's normal childbirth. Therefore, many patients choose to undergo surgery to keep themselves away from the threat of the disease. However, many people do not understand the adverse effects of incomplete septate uterine surgery.

Uterine septum is a type of uterine malformation, which is formed during the development of the congenital uterus. Its existence can cause infertility, difficult pregnancy, or increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, fetal growth retardation, spontaneous abortion, premature birth, malposition of the fetus, etc. If the examination has been clear and there has been a history of fetal growth retardation, it is best to undergo surgery before getting pregnant again. Generally, the hospitalization for surgery is about 5 days. Depending on the specific situation of the septum, hysteroscopy or hysteroscopy-laparoscopy combined surgery is used for treatment. The operation is performed under anesthesia and is painless.

However, there may also be some adverse effects after the surgery.

Consequence 1: Uterine septate can cause infertility: Since uterine septate is a congenital disease in women, it is mainly caused by the obstruction of the incomplete fusion of the renal duct. After female friends suffer from uterine septate, the shape of the uterus will change to a certain extent, which disrupts the normal reproductive function of the uterus and eventually causes female infertility.

Consequence 2: Uterine septum can cause adverse pregnancy: The endometrium covering the surface of the female uterus will not be able to respond to estrogen due to the uterine septum. Therefore, when the fertilized egg implants in the septum of the female uterus, the fetus cannot get enough blood, so the fetus cannot develop normally and may also cause fetal malformations.

Consequence three: Uterine septate can cause miscarriage and dystocia: Even if female patients with uterine septate can successfully conceive, it is difficult to maintain the pregnancy. During pregnancy, uterine contractions become irregular, which can cause miscarriage or premature birth. In the late stages of pregnancy, the frequency of uterine contractions becomes less obvious, so women are more likely to suffer from dystocia during childbirth.

I have already told you the three main adverse consequences of incomplete septate uterus in the above article. Therefore, don’t think that choosing surgery for treatment is foolproof. Knowing these adverse effects, patients, friends and families must be very cautious when choosing whether to undergo surgery.
