Uterine Septum Correction
A band of tissue dividing the womb can be linked to miscarriage. It can be removed through the cervix in a short procedure, with no cuts on the tummy.
Hysteroscopic Surgery
Correcting a divided womb to support future pregnancy
A uterine septum is a band of tissue, present from birth, that divides the inside of the womb. It is a common difference in womb shape. It may be linked with miscarriage and early birth.
Many women only discover a septum during fertility or miscarriage tests.
Dr Jasdev confirms the diagnosis carefully before advising surgery, as other womb shapes need different care.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.
What septum correction gives you
- A more normally shaped womb cavity
- A short procedure with no tummy wound
- A plan for when to try for pregnancy
How your care is planned
Each stage is explained so you know why surgery is being considered, what it involves and how recovery will go. You can take time to decide.
Confirm the septum with a 3D ultrasound or MRI
Divide the septum by hysteroscopy
Check the result and plan pregnancy timing
How it works
Under anaesthetic, a hysteroscope is passed into the womb. The septum is divided with fine instruments until the cavity looks normal. The procedure usually takes around thirty minutes. A later scan or hysteroscopy checks the result. The septum has few blood vessels, so bleeding during the procedure is usually small.
Who may benefit
Women with a septum and a history of miscarriage or early birth. Whether to treat a septum in women without that history is discussed individually, as the evidence is mixed.
What to expect
You can usually go home the same day. Mild cramps and spotting are common. Most women can try to conceive after one or two cycles. A scan or hysteroscopy after one or two cycles checks that the cavity looks normal.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

Your questions about septum correction
What is a uterine septum?
It is a band of tissue, present from birth, that divides the inside of the womb into two parts.
Who should consider surgery?
Women with a septum and recurrent miscarriage or early birth. For others, the decision is made case by case.
What tests are needed first?
A 3D ultrasound or MRI to confirm the shape of the womb, as other womb differences need different management.
Is it painful or risky?
It is done under anaesthetic, and cramps afterwards are usual. Risks include bleeding, infection and, rarely, injury to the womb.
Why see Dr Jasdev for this?
He makes sure the diagnosis is correct before surgery, and plans treatment around your pregnancy goals.
