What are the hazards of incomplete uterine septum?

Incomplete uterine septum is a type of uterine malformation. For friends who suffer from incomplete uterine septum, it is necessary to understand the dangers of incomplete uterine septum. So what are the dangers of incomplete uterine septum? Next, this article will introduce the seven major dangers of incomplete uterine septum for your reference only. Friends who want to know the dangers of incomplete uterine septum can take a look!

A septate uterus is a common uterine developmental abnormality that occurs when the bilateral paramesonephric ducts are fused and a certain process of septum absorption is blocked. The septate uterus has an incidence rate of 0.009% to 12% and the incidence rate in the population is unknown. It accounts for about 75% of uterine developmental abnormalities. After the bilateral paramesonephric ducts are completely fused, the absorption of the septum is impaired, resulting in a uterine septate, which is divided into complete uterine septate and incomplete uterine septate.

What are the dangers of incomplete uterine septum? The hazards of incomplete uterine septum are mainly as follows:

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 known as ectopic 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 leucorrhea secretion

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.

6. Irregular menstruation

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

7. Secondary anemia

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

The above is an introduction to the dangers of incomplete uterine septum. From the above introduction, we can know that incomplete uterine septum has many hazards and the hazards are relatively large. Therefore, patients with incomplete uterine septum must receive timely treatment! This is the only way to minimize the harm caused by incomplete uterine septum.
