    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Asherman's syndrome, characterized by intrauterine adhesions, frequently arises post-gynecological procedures.
    • Intensive uterine curettage, infection, and poor endometrial response to hormones contribute to its development.
    • This condition often leads to amenorrhea, impacting reproductive health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a minimally invasive hysteroscopic approach for treating Asherman's syndrome.
    • To assess the efficacy of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis combined with intrauterine device (IUD) placement and local estrogen therapy.
    • To determine the impact of this treatment on restoring menstruation and fertility.

    Main Methods:

    • Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis was performed on 14 patients with Asherman's syndrome and amenorrhea.
    • Customized intrauterine devices were inserted post-adhesiolysis, alongside local estrogen administration.
    • Hormonal therapy was administered orally for four cycles to reconstruct the menstrual cycle.

    Main Results:

    • 86% of patients resumed menstruation following the treatment.
    • 57% of patients achieved pregnancy, indicating restored fertility.
    • Hysteroscopy minimized uterine perforation risk during adhesion removal; IUDs and local estrogen aided endometrial regeneration and prevented recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Hysteroscopic treatment for Asherman's syndrome is effective in restoring menstruation and fertility.
    • The combination of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, IUD insertion, and local estrogen therapy offers a safe and efficient treatment strategy.
    • This approach significantly improves outcomes for women suffering from Asherman's syndrome-induced amenorrhea.
