Understanding Vaginal Septum
A vaginal septum is a wall of tissue that divides the vagina into two compartments, often resulting from incomplete fusion or development during fetal development. The septum may be partial, extending partially into the vagina, or complete, dividing the vagina into two separate cavities. Symptoms of vaginal septum may include:
During vaginal septum resection, the surgeon performs the following steps:
Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and pain control.
Incisions: Small incisions are made in the vaginal wall to access and remove the vaginal septum.
Resection: The surgeon carefully dissects and removes the septum, ensuring complete removal while preserving surrounding vaginal tissue and structures.
Closure: The incisions in the vaginal wall are closed with dissolvable sutures to promote healing and prevent infection.
Postoperative Care: Patients receive postoperative care instructions, pain management medications, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and recovery.
After vaginal septum resection, patients typically experience:
Recovery Time: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week, with limited activity restrictions and mild postoperative discomfort.
Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain medications or prescription pain relievers may be prescribed to manage postoperative discomfort.
Follow-up Appointments: Follow-up appointments with the healthcare provider are scheduled to monitor healing, discuss postoperative care instructions, and assess treatment outcomes.
