Abstract

Intrauterine adhesion is a kind of high incidence disease caused by many pathogenic factors, which damages the endometrial basal layer and affects the menstruation and fertility of women. In recent years, due to artificial abortion and other types of increased uterine cavity surgery, the incidence of the disease gradually increased. Hysteroscopy is the main method to diagnose intrauterine adhesion. Combining with ultrasound, it can determine the range and degree of intrauterine adhesion and guide the choice of treatment. But it cannot find small changes in the uterine cavity, and for serious adhesions and endometrial injury in patients, hysteroscopy examination results are not good. Accurate assessment of recurrence risk and individualized diagnosis and treatment are important prerequisites to reduce the high recurrence rate and improve the low pregnancy rate. This article reviews the research on clinical diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine adhesions in order to enhance and improve the understanding of the disease and provide a new clinical thinking.

Keywords

intrauterine adhesion, hysteroscopy, postoperative recurrence diagnosis and treatment
