What are the dangers of uterine malformation and septate uterus?

The uterus is a very important organ for women. If a woman has problems with her uterus and is unable to get pregnant, this would be unbearable for every woman. Uterine malformation, uterus septate, is a very common problem. Many women don’t know much about this topic. Let’s discuss what uterine malformation and uterine septate are and whether women with uterine malformation and uterine septate can still get pregnant.

Uterine septum is caused by obstruction of the fusion of the two accessory mesonephric ducts during congenital development. The incidence of uterine septum and bicornuate uterus is 5%. Uterine septum changes the symmetry of the uterine cavity and may interfere with normal reproductive function. Guidance: Patients with uterine septate are mostly asymptomatic in clinical practice, and some patients may have increased menstruation; however, most patients with uterine septate have a history of recurrent miscarriage, infertility, premature birth and abnormal fetal position, and some are found during cesarean section or artificial abortion curettage; secondly, some patients are found to have vaginal septate during pelvic examination, and further examination by doctors reveals uterine septate. Even if a woman with uterine septate is pregnant, the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation and intrauterine death is higher, because this septum has fewer blood vessels and more fibrous tissue than the normal myometrium, which hinders normal implantation;

In addition, the endometrium covering the septum responds poorly to hormonal stimulation, and the septum can hinder normal placental growth and cause early fetal death. If the pregnancy continues, it will develop into intrauterine growth retardation. Conventional treatment for uterine septum: The relative risk of miscarriage and premature birth caused by uterine septum ranges from 5% to 95%, so once discovered, it should be treated in advance.

To sum up the above, we conclude that it is possible to get pregnant with a uterine malformation and a septate uterus. Although some of them are congenital problems, they are also closely related to our daily lives. We should treat them strictly and should not simply think that they are physiological congenital reasons. Having a happy mood, a healthy and hygienic environment, and a good attitude to face problems will help alleviate the condition.
