A member asked:

I have a septate hymen it doesnt bother me at all. i was wondering they will want to cut it when i get put on birth control? id just like to know more

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Septate hymen: Many women will break down the septated area during tampon insertion or during first intercourse. I probably wouldn't do this in the office just because you were wanting birth control. Honestly if you are wanting it removed talk with a gynecologist. I would suggest you have it removed under at least a bit of sedation unless it is very thin.
