What should I do if a pregnancy test shows a small uterine septate?

There are already various gynecological diseases, and a less common gynecological disease is uterine septate, which generally appears in infertility or in some obstetrics and gynecology examination results. But don't worry too much. Although this disease may feel unfamiliar, as long as you have a correct understanding of it, it can help you treat it.

The treatment of uterine septate varies from person to person. For mild uterine septate that does not affect pregnancy, no surgical treatment is required. Even if it is an incomplete septate uterus, as long as it is not very serious, non-surgical conservative treatment can also be adopted. Generally, you should try to get pregnant for a few months first. Once you are pregnant, pay attention to B-ultrasound monitoring of the site of implantation of the fertilized egg. As long as the fertilized egg implants in the non-septal area of ​​the uterus, the possibility of normal pregnancy is very high. Even if implantation occurs in the uterine septum area, there is still a possibility of a successful normal pregnancy. At the same time, it is particularly important to maintain a good attitude. Excessive anxiety and tension may aggravate the ischemia of the uterine septum area through the action of the neuro-endocrine system, and affect the development and growth of the embryo.

Surgical treatment is the only way to ultimately correct a septate uterus. It can be considered for those who have had habitual miscarriages, premature births, or infertility after a long marriage. Some experts advocate metroplasty for patients with uterine septate after a second miscarriage. It is worth noting that whether it is vaginal or abdominal surgery, it will leave scars on the abdominal wall and uterus, cause great trauma, take a long time to recover, and may even cause uterine adhesions, which will have a certain impact on future pregnancies. Contraception is required for 3 months after the operation. If you become pregnant after the operation, a cesarean section is generally required to ensure a safe delivery. The pregnancy time should be more than 36 weeks.

Although uterine septate can be treated with surgery, there may be certain sequelae and complications after the operation. Therefore, after the operation, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to strictly control the occurrence of complications. During the treatment, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and do not change the treatment steps without authorization. This is the only way to ensure the health of your body.
