Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello!
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that my uterus is a longitudinal uterine septum. How much impact does this have on future fertility?
Doctor's answer:
A large septum can lead to infertility, equivalent to having an intrauterine device (IUD). A moderate septum can cause ectopic pregnancy, possibly because the septum within the uterine cavity affects implantation, causing the fertilized egg to travel outside the uterus. A small septum can lead to habitual abortion, possibly because the fertilized egg implants on the septum, where the poor blood supply causes fetal demise.Whether large or small, the septum poses significant harm. Regardless of size, the septum affects fertility. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a reputable fertility hospital as soon as possible to prevent the various harms caused by the septum. The prognosis for uterine septum is generally favorable, as long as it is addressed promptly, normal pregnancy can be achieved.
