Patient's question:
Hello, my cousin is 25 years old this year. She has been living with her boyfriend for more than two years. Because she is not married, she has never wanted to have children. My cousin has had two abortions. She recently told me that her period hasn't come, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be uterine adhesions. What should I do about uterine adhesion after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, induced abortion can indeed lead to uterine adhesions, which are caused by inflammation of the endometrium and involve both the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus. If you experience reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea after the abortion, along with periodic lower abdominal pain, the possibility of adhesions is the highest. Indeed, ultrasound or hysteroscopy can help diagnose this. After your menstrual period ends, three to five days later, you can undergo hysteroscopic adhesion removal combined with surgery.
