Transverse vaginal septum

Vaginal septum refers to an abnormal development of the urogenital sinus structure during the embryonic period, resulting in a partially or completely obstructed vagina. The septum can occur in the upper or lower segment of the vagina. A septum in the upper segment does not affect sexual life, while a septum in the lower segment does and requires immediate surgery. The main manifestations are hematocolpos or intermittent menstrual blood outflow.
