Septate vagina

Septate vagina
A vagina that is divided, usually longitudinally, to create a double vagina. This situation can be easily missed by the patient and even by the doctor on exam. If the patient becomes sexually active prior to diagnosis, one of the vaginas stretches and becomes "dominant". The other vagina slips slightly upward and flush and is a little difficult to enter.
