Septum Removal: Advanced Gynecological Care for Reproductive Health
Octavia Hospital aims to offer a comprehensive range of Gynaecological surgeries that are dedicated to offering women accurate precision for Septum Removal. The department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at the hospital manages reproductive concerns of women of all ages- especially the ones who need extra care during pregnancy. They have well-equipped labour rooms and Gynaecology operation theatres with all modern amenities, including neonatal ICU, continuous CTG, and multi-parameter patient monitoring system to ensure the best results.
The centre also takes care of hysteroscopy procedures which include removal of the septum, removal of the submucous fibroid, laparoscopic tubal recanalization, and other procedures similar to hysterectomy. Fortunately, these procedures can correct a uterine septum.
A septum is a wall of tissue that divides the uterus into two separate cavities. It blocks sperms from reaching the ovaries. In other words, it limits the amount of space that a foetus requires to grow inside the womb. A hysteroscopy is the best way to check if your uterus is able to carry a baby.
- Uterine septum is often a cause of miscarriage in women.
- The septate interferes with the pregnancy and cannot provide the support required for a healthy pregnancy.
- Women with septate uterus generally go through frequent miscarriages and experience premature labour pain and infertility issues.
- This is the reason doctors recommend Septum removal to correct uterus disorders and make pregnancy more likely.
A major indication of Septum Removal
This procedure is suitable for women who experience the following issues:
- Polyps or fibroids
- Recurring miscarriage
- Bleeding between cycles
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Severe cramping
- Congenital septum
- Infertility
- Unexplained bleeding post menopause
How to prepare for the procedure?
Listed below are a few tips you must follow before the procedure:
- Discuss with your gynaecologist. He/she will go over your health history and symptoms to identify whether the procedure is right for you or not.
- Before the procedure, your gynaecologist will answer any questions you may have. Please allow your doctor to address your concerns to avoid any complications in the future.
- A physical examination is conducted along with some other tests to cross-check whether you are in a healthy state to proceed with the surgery.
- Besides, some other tests and imaging studies may also be prescribed before recommending septum removal.
- Make sure to follow pre-surgery instructions carefully. For example, some patients are prescribed fasting before anaesthesia.
- Let your physician know if you are presently taking any supplements.
- Make sure you have a family member to accompany you after the procedure.
- Keep a record of your menstrual cycle so that the procedure can be done at the right time.
What happens during the procedure?
- It can take 15-30 minutes to perform hysteroscopy.
- First, you will be put under general anaesthesia, so you do not experience discomfort during the procedure.
- Then, your gynaecologist will make a few small incisions in the lower abdomen.
- Further, a thin, flexible, lighted tube is passed through your cervix and vagina into the uterine cavity.
- The images are then observed and recorded on the screen.
- Your surgeon then checks for septum, fibroids, and other malformations and the septum is removed. This procedure is called hysteroscopic repair.
What to expect after the procedure?
Depending on the surgery, you should be able to recover within 2-4 weeks following the procedure.
- Patients are required to stay at the hospital for an observation period. But, in most of the cases, they are discharged the same day.
- Patients often experience shoulder pain after the procedure since gas is used to expand the uterus. Once the gas is absorbed, the discomfort subsides immediately.
- Some women experience vaginal bleeding or cramps for 1-2 days after the procedure.
- However, it is advisable to consult your gynaecologist immediately in case of severe pain, fever, or weakness.
- Intercourse should be avoided for two weeks after the hysteroscopy. Talk to your doctor before taking any tampons.
- Women may also find it uncomfortable while sitting for a few days. It is quite normal.
