Uterine septum pictures

Uterine septum is the main manifestation of incomplete cavitation during the congenital development of the uterus. It is characterized by a connective tissue-dominated ridge at the fundus of the uterus protruding into the uterine cavity, deep uterine horns, and a relatively small volume of uterine cavity. The horizontal uterine depression can be seen through pelvic B-ultrasound or hysterography, and the diagnosis is made with the help of hysteroscopy. So, what are the photos of uterine septum?

Uterine septate is the most common uterine malformation and is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Uterine septate can cause miscarriage, premature birth, breech presentation, placental abruption, placenta previa, abnormal bleeding after delivery, and delayed language development of the fetus in the uterine cavity.

1. Repeated miscarriage

Some recurrent miscarriages are caused by uterine malformations, among which uterine septate accounts for the majority. Uterine septate is common in women with recurrent unsuccessful pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy.

2. Infertility

It cannot be ruled out that uterine septum is one of the factors affecting pregnancy in some infertile patients.

3. Ectopic pregnancy (also called extrauterine pregnancy)

Due to the complexity of uterine malformations, ectopic pregnancy (also known as ectopic pregnancy) can often occur in closed uterine horns, rudimentary uterine horns, cervix or vaginal diverticula. Because of their rarity, pregnancies in these unusual locations are often not diagnosed early enough.

4. Abnormal delivery

Due to the influence of the mediastinum, the deformation of the uterine cavity leads to an increase in the incidence of late cesarean section indications. Uterine malformation can also cause obstetric complications such as abnormal fetal position, unbalanced uterine contractions, and retained placenta.

5. Excessive metabolism of secretions

A small number of patients may have a large amount of purulent and bloody leucorrhea, and some patients may have slough-like secretions and an infectious odor.

6. Irregular menstruation

If the patient has a relatively large uterine septum, the menstrual volume will increase significantly, the menstrual period will also increase, and irregular vaginal bleeding will occur.

7. Secondary anemia

If the patient has frequent menstruation for a long time, it is easy to cause secondary anemia. Generally, such patients have a pale complexion and will have symptoms such as panic and weakness.
