Causes of uterine adhesions

Women need to protect themselves well. There are many diseases that women are prone to. Therefore, when women feel unwell, they should have a physical examination in time, so that they can have a good understanding of their specific problems and avoid the disease from becoming more serious. What is the cause of uterine adhesion? Many women are not very clear about this problem. Let's introduce it in detail below.

Causes of uterine adhesions:

1. History of intrauterine operation

(1) Pregnancy factors: pregnancy-related intrauterine surgery such as vacuum aspiration in early pregnancy, forceps curettage in mid-pregnancy, curettage for induction of labor in mid-pregnancy, curettage for postpartum hemorrhage, and curettage for spontaneous abortion. This may be because the basal layer of the endometrium of the pregnant uterus is more easily damaged, causing the uterine walls to adhere to each other and form permanent adhesions.

(2) Non-pregnancy factors: Myomectomy (entering the uterine cavity), transuterine removal of submucosal uterine myomas, hysterectomy, and double uterus surgery destroy the basal layer of the endometrium, exposing the myometrium to the uterine cavity and leading to anterior and posterior adhesions of the uterine wall.

2. Surgical inflammatory factors

Intrauterine infection includes uterine tuberculosis, postmenopausal senile endometritis, secondary infection after uterine operation, puerperal infection, secondary infection after intrauterine contraceptive device placement, etc.

3. Human Factors

Artificially destroy the basal layer of the endometrium to cause intrauterine adhesions. Such as: after endometrial electrosurgical resection, intrauterine microwave, cryotherapy, chemotherapy and local radiotherapy.

4. Endometrial damage during curettage due to various reasons

If the uterus is repeatedly curettaged, it is very easy to damage the basal layer. The intrauterine adhesion caused by this reason is called traumatic adhesion, which is the most common. Therefore, obstetricians and gynecologists should use appropriate depth of curettage. Women of childbearing age should implement contraceptive measures and avoid abortion, especially for the first abortion, which may cause secondary infertility due to intrauterine adhesion.

After understanding the causes of uterine cavity adhesions, women should pay attention to such problems. If they have uterine cavity adhesions, they need to improve them in time. In addition, women need to pay attention to their private hygiene to prevent uterine diseases and keep them clean every day. This can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases.
