Counsel patients with uterine septum on spontaneous abortion risk: US guidelines

But there is insufficient evidence to show a link to infertility, the authors say.

Patients with a septate uterus should be warned of their increased risk of spontaneous abortion and obstetric complications, but there is insufficient evidence of an infertility link, according to new guidance.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s updated guidelines also recommend 3D transvaginal ultrasound as the first-line non-invasive diagnostic tool to assess uterine shape.
