Septate Hymen What It Is and How a Hymenectomy Helps Flo
Having a septate hymen, also known as a divided or split hymen, is a rare anatomical variation in females where the hymen is divided into two or more parts. It occurs when there is a failure of the hymen to completely fuse, resulting in the presence of a septum or protrusion within the vaginal opening. A septate hymen can cause challenges in terms of sexual intercourse, menstrual flow, and the use of tampons. It is important for individuals with septate hymen to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss their specific situation and possible treatment options. Surgical intervention, such as a hymenectomy or hymenotomy, may be recommended to correct the septate hymen condition.
