Can a completely septate uterus be cured?

Uterine septate can cause female infertility. Uterine septate requires timely symptomatic treatment. Uterine septate is usually caused by congenital fertility abnormalities. Clinically, there are generally no symptoms of uterine septate. Uterine septate can prevent the fertilized egg from implanting normally, so it can cause infertility. Many people with uterine septate are concerned about whether uterine septate can be cured. So can complete uterine septate be cured? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Can a completely septate uterus be cured?

Uterine septate does affect women's fertility, but women need to pay special attention to the treatment of uterine septate. Although some hospitals say that surgical treatment can be performed, it is not certain whether women can give birth smoothly after the operation. Before the advent of hysteroscopic surgery, the treatment of uterine septum was to make a transverse incision at the uterine fundus through the abdomen, shear the septum, or make a median incision in the uterine body to trim the uterine septum and reconstruct the uterine muscle wall. This surgical procedure will leave scars on the uterus and abdominal wall, cause great trauma, take a long time to recover, and may even cause uterine adhesions, which will have a certain impact on future pregnancies.

2. Can uterine septum that causes infertility be cured?

Septate uterus. Septate uterus is mostly caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. Clinically, septate uterus is often asymptomatic. Septate can affect the normal implantation of the fertilized egg and cause infertility.

Because the septate uterus has fewer blood vessels and more fibrous tissue than the normal uterine muscle layer, which hinders normal implantation, it is recommended that you undergo surgical treatment first to remove the septate tissue vaginally or abdominally. After the operation, you will need to use contraception for several years before you can get pregnant.

3. How to treat it?

Uterine septum changes the symmetry of the uterine cavity and may interfere with normal reproductive function. It can easily cause primary infertility or refractory infertility. Therefore, once discovered, timely treatment is required. Currently, minimally invasive technology is popular in the treatment of uterine septum, and women with uterine septum are recommended to use minimally invasive technology for treatment.

Minimally invasive treatment of uterine septum requires good preoperative preparation. In addition to routine preoperative examinations and necessary psychological preparation, all patients should undergo ultrasound examination, hysteroscopy, or hysterosalpingography (HSG), or pelvic and uterine double angiography to confirm the diagnosis of congenital Mullerian duct malformation of the uterine septum and estimate the width and length of the septum in advance. The best time to perform surgery is within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. If the surgery is performed in the second half of the menstrual cycle, the pelvic congestion and incomplete healing of the intrauterine wound may easily lead to an increase in the amount of blood in the first menstrual period after the operation. Surgery can also be performed after treatment with an endometrial growth inhibitor.
