Transverse Vaginal Septum – Antai Hospital
A transverse vaginal septum is a condition where there is a presence of a thick wall of tissue that is growing end to end across the vaginal opening, depending on severity can cause a partial or entire blockage of the vagina.
This tissue is referred to as the septum, very similar to the same tissue found in a septate uterine, with a very similar cause as well.
Cause
A transverse vaginal septum is a congenital condition where it occurs during early fetal development. During Mullerian duct fusion, there is a failure here or abnormality that occurs causing the fusion to be incomplete, they do not join to form a normal vagina, causing this condition. The failure of fusion of the Mullerian Ducts is also the cause of uterine malformations such as septate uterus, naïve uterus, didelphys, bicornuate etc.

- Exceedingly long menses period (more than 7 days)

- Difficulty in labor (fetus is unable to exit due to the septum)
