Does uterine septum affect pregnancy?

Uterine septum is a manifestation of incomplete cavitation during the congenital development of the uterus. It is characterized by a ridge of connective tissue at the fundus of the uterus protruding into the uterine cavity, deep uterine horns, and a relatively small uterine cavity volume. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome often have septum. Through vaginal four-dimensional color ultrasound coronal imaging and dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, it can be seen that the fundus of the uterus is sunken in the horizontal position. The diagnosis is confirmed by hysteroscopy.

Pathogenesis

Uterine septum is caused by obstruction of the fusion of the bilateral mesonephric ducts during congenital development. The incidence of uterine septum and bicornuate uterus is 5%. Uterine septum changes the symmetry of the uterine cavity and interferes with normal reproductive function. Even if a woman with a septate uterus becomes pregnant, the incidence of fetal intrauterine growth retardation and intrauterine fetal death is high.
