The term "uterine septum" refers to a structural abnormality of the uterus that is characterized by the presence of a wall or partition that separates the uterine cavity. It can lead to fertility problems, recurrent miscarriages, and other complications during pregnancy. There are several synonyms for this condition that include septate uterus, partitioned uterus, and subseptate uterus. These terms are often used interchangeably, and they all describe a similar condition where the uterus is partitioned by a wall or septum. Although the symptoms of a uterine septum can vary, women who experience infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and other reproductive problems should consult with a healthcare provider.
