A member asked:

Is subseptum a problem for getting pregnant???

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends: The distinction between septate uterus and bicornuate uterus has important management implications. In septate uterus, but not in bicornuate uterus, the septum can be shaved off during hysteroscopy (metroplasty) to form a single uterine cavity without perforating the uterus. Hence, check with your OB-GYN.

Usually not: It depends on the size of the septum, but but definition, sub septum is small. Have you ever been pregnant, delivered a baby? It you have had recurrent miscarriages and other work up is normal, removal of the septum could be considered.
