Office Evaluation of the Child and Adolescent Having a septate hymen, also
known as a divided or split hymen, is a rare anatomical variation in females where the hymen is split or separated into multiple sections. It occurs when the fusion
of the hymen fails, resulting in the presence of a septum or protrusion within the vaginal opening. Challenges can arise with a septate hymen 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. In
some cases, a healthcare professional may recommend surgical intervention such as a hymenectomy
or hymenotomy to rectify the septate hymen condition.
