I have a septate hymen and I was wondering if I could cut it myself at home?

I recommend an exam. There may be a septum or other issues going on. If that is the only problem, ask your provider what they think.

No, you cannot.

Definitely do not cut it at home, it can become infected, it can bleed and then you will need more medical treatment. The safest thing to do is seek care with an OBGYN that can discuss a surgical removal for you.
