From Diagnosis to Recovery: Septate Uterus Treatment in Dubai
The journey of motherhood is different for each individual; it can be easy or complex. A septate uterus is one thing that affects your efforts to conceive. The septate uterus or Uterine septum is a congenital disability where individuals are born with a uterine abnormality. A septum or thin tissue membrane that runs down the middle of the uterus divides it into two separate parts. Women with uterine septum have an increased chance of pregnancy loss, preterm birth, and miscarriage.

Understanding Uterine Septum
A uterine septum is a congenital abnormality where a fibrous or muscular band divides the uterine cavity. This condition occurs when the uterus does not develop appropriately during fetal growth. Depending on its size, a septum can interfere with pregnancy by preventing implantation or increasing the risk of miscarriage.
Types of uterine septum
The Septate uterus is divided into two types: complete and partial.
- Complete uterine septum occurs when the septum runs from the top of the uterus to the cervix. The uterus is divided into two separate parts.
- A partial uterine septum occurs when the septum partially separates the uterus rather than completely dividing it into two parts. The partial septate uterus does not affect the vagina or cervix.
What causes a septate uterus?
A Septate uterus is a congenital disability developed in the mother’s womb when the two ducts don’t fuse properly. Typically, the two ducts fuse to form a uterine cavity.
If you have a septate uterus, the two ducts do not fuse, resulting in a tissue membrane in the middle of the uterus. This membrane splits up the uterus into two parts.
Septate uterus symptoms
The condition is primarily asymptomatic; it can go undiagnosed for a long time. It’s diagnosed when you have repeated miscarriages or multiple pregnancy losses. Some potential symptoms are,
- Painful menstruation
- Pelvic Pain
- Frequent miscarriages
How does the septate uterus affect pregnancy?
Some people have an uncomplicated pregnancy with a septate uterus based on the size and shape of the septate uterus. However, uterine septum affects pregnancy in the following ways,
- Low birth weight
- Preterm labour
- Abnormal fetal position
- Increased risk of Cesarean delivery
- Increased risk of miscarriage
How to diagnose Septate uterus?
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Common diagnostic methods include:
- Ultrasound (2D or 3D): Helps visualise the uterine structure.
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray procedure that evaluates the uterine cavity.
- MRI: Offers detailed imaging for complex cases.
- Hysteroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualisation of the uterine cavity.
