What is complete septate uterus?

Now with the development of society, air pollution is very serious, so people will have various diseases, such as complete mediastinal uterus. This disease is a disease of the female reproductive organs and it is very serious. But for some women, they don’t know all the medical knowledge about it, so everyone is very concerned about the specific condition of their illness. Then, let me help you understand what complete mediastinal uterus is?

Complete uterine septate is a type of uterine septate. Patients with uterine septate are mostly asymptomatic clinically, and some patients may have increased menstruation; but most patients with uterine septate have a history of recurrent miscarriage, infertility, premature birth and abnormal fetal position, and some are discovered during cesarean section or curettage for artificial abortion; secondly, some patients are found to have vaginal septate during pelvic examination, and the doctor discovers uterine septate during further examination.

How to check for complete uterine septate? Diagnosis of complete uterine septate:

1) Dynamic digital hysterosalpingography: It is one of the important examination methods for uterine septum.

2) Hysteroscopy: Hysteroscopy can more directly and accurately determine the type of uterine septum. It is the "gold standard" for diagnosing complete uterine septum, distinguishing between complete and incomplete uterine septum, and can also diagnose uterine cavity lesions. Hysteroscopy should be performed routinely before hysterectomy.

3) Vaginal four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound: The diagnosis is more accurate when performed before menstruation.

Several major hazards of complete uterine septum to women

1) Malformed uterus leading to recurrent miscarriage: According to statistics, nearly 15% to 25% of recurrent miscarriages are caused by malformed uterus, among which septate uterus accounts for the majority. The incidence of uterine septate is high in women with recurrent pregnancy failure, especially early pregnancy loss.

2) Delayed infertility caused by uterine septate: The incidence of infertility caused by uterine septate is 17% to 35%, and the pregnancy rate after corrective surgery for uterine septate is 48%. Some scholars also believe that uterine septate is not a factor that causes infertility, but in patients with secondary infertility, the incidence of unexplained infertility increases significantly to 40%.

3) Ectopic pregnancy (also known as ectopic 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.

4) Severe obstetric complications: Obstetric abnormalities due to the influence of the mediastinum cause deformation of the uterine cavity, leading to an increased incidence of late pregnancy complications, such as premature birth rates of 11% to 28%. After corrective surgery, the premature birth rate can be reduced to 6% to 9%. Uterine malformation can also lead to obstetric complications such as abnormal fetal position, uterine contraction dysfunction, and retained placenta.

The above describes the medical knowledge about what is complete mediastinal uterus. I believe that after reading it, women will have a certain understanding and knowledge of it. Then, knowing the specific situation of this disease, women with these diseases should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid some diseases from worsening. The consequences are very serious. As for complete mediastinal uterus, this disease is very easy to treat, so don’t give up.
