Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Options: If the uterine septum is small then an IUD should be able to be inserted. If it is larger then it can be hysteroscopically resected in an outpatient surgery. A sonohystogram or a Hysterosalpingogram are radiologic studies than can be done to help delineate the extent of the septum.
