Treatment of Intrauterine Adhesion

Intrauterine adhesion refers to scar tissue formation following endometrial damage, leading to partial or complete closure of the uterine cavity. It is common among women of reproductive age, especially those with a history of multiple intrauterine surgeries, abortions, or infections. The disease mainly affects women aged 20 to 40 and significantly impacts menstruation and fertility. Treatment methods include hysteroscopic surgery, hormone therapy, physical dilation, and stem cell therapy. Without timely treatment, it may result in infertility, miscarriage, and recurrent intrauterine infections.

Emerging Treatment Methods

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy utilizes pluripotent stem cells to repair damaged endometrium, activate tissue regeneration, and significantly improve uterine environment and function.

① Promotes endometrial cell regeneration

② Enhances angiogenesis

③ Reduces fibrosis

④ Improves conception rates

⑤ Lowers recurrence risk

Conventional Treatment Methods

1. Hysteroscopic Surgery

Hysteroscopic surgery is a common method for treating intrauterine adhesion, where adhesions are removed under direct visualization to restore uterine cavity structure. Postoperative hormone therapy is often combined to promote endometrial recovery.

2. Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy, through supplementation with estrogen and others, promotes endometrial growth and repair. When combined with surgery, it enhances effectiveness and helps restore normal menstruation and fertility.

3. Physical Dilation Therapy

Physical dilation involves placing intrauterine stents or catheters to prevent re-adhesion and maintain uterine cavity patency, often used alongside other therapies to improve outcomes.

4. Anti-inflammatory and Anti-infection Therapy

Anti-inflammatory treatment reduces endometrial inflammation, prevents deterioration, and ensures smooth surgical outcomes and endometrial repair.

Conclusion

Intrauterine adhesion severely impacts women’s reproductive health and requires early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment. Experts at United Life International Medical Center emphasize that stem cell therapy, when combined with traditional surgery and medication, provides patients with more effective treatment options, significantly improving recovery and fertility success rates. Patients should value timely treatment, actively cooperate, and strive for the best prognosis.
