Patient's question:
I am 31 years old. In 2009, I had an abortion and was found to have cervical hypertrophy. Two months ago, after a miscarriage, I was diagnosed with cervical hypertrophy again, and it was also a septate uterus. My vaginal discharge is yellow, itchy, and sometimes has a foul odor. My external genitalia have a burning sensation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a septate uterus refers to a normal uterine shape, which is a type of uterine malformation, but there is a longitudinal septum from the fundus to the internal or external cervical os. It is classified as incomplete or complete based on the degree of septation of the uterine cavity. In clinical studies, non-pregnant individuals often show no symptoms, but during pregnancy, it is prone to miscarriage, preterm birth, abnormal, placental retention, infertility, subfertility, or an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy and its occurrence.
