What does hysteroscopy cause?

The gestation process of a life is completed in the uterus. The mother's uterus is a greenhouse for the fetus, nurturing a new life. An unhealthy uterus makes it very difficult for the fetus to grow. Some mothers have uterine problems. An imperfect uterus has a great impact on the growth of life. Let’s learn with the editor what consequences may be caused by hysteroscopic uterine septum.

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. Pelvic color ultrasound or hysterosalpingography can show that the uterine fundus is sunken in the horizontal position, and the diagnosis is confirmed by hysteroscopy. Uterine septum is caused by obstruction of the fusion of the bilateral mesonephric ducts during congenital development.

Uterine septate is the most common uterine malformation and is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Uterine septate can lead to miscarriage, premature birth, breech presentation, premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa, abnormal postpartum bleeding and intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus.

1. Recurrent miscarriage

Some recurrent miscarriages are caused by uterine malformations, among which uterine septate accounts for the majority. Uterine septate occurs frequently in women with recurrent pregnancy failure, especially early pregnancy loss.

2. Infertility

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

3. Ectopic pregnancy (also called extrauterine pregnancy)

Due to the complexity of uterine malformations, ectopic pregnancy (also known as extrauterine pregnancy) can often occur in closed uterine horns, rudimentary uterine horns, cervix or vaginal diverticula. Because of their rarity, pregnancies in this unusual location are often difficult to diagnose early.

4. Abnormal delivery

Due to the influence of the mediastinum, the uterine cavity is deformed, leading to an increased incidence of complications in late pregnancy. Uterine malformation can also lead to obstetric complications such as abnormal fetal position, uterine contraction dysfunction, and retained placenta.

5. Excessive vaginal discharge

A small number of patients may have a large amount of purulent and bloody leucorrhea, and some patients may have leucorrhea that resembles dead flesh and has an infectious odor.

In summary, we can know that hysteroscopic uterine septum is a very dangerous environment for the fetus. If a mother has this disease, it is recommended not to prepare for pregnancy blindly. It is best to go to the hospital and ask for help from a doctor to minimize the dangerous situations caused by uterine problems. If possible, prepare everything before starting to prepare for pregnancy.
