What causes intrauterine adhesions?

The cause of intrauterine adhesions is still unclear. It may be caused by endometrial trauma, infection, low estrogen levels, congenital factors, etc., as follows:

1. Endometrial trauma: Artificial abortion and curettage may damage the endometrium and cause adhesions in the uterine cavity.

2. Infection: After uterine artery embolization, uterine artery ligation, transection, and endometrial resection, infection may lead to intrauterine adhesions. In addition, infection caused by hysterectomy, polypectomy, and myomectomy may lead to intrauterine adhesions.

3. Low estrogen level: Low estrogen level leads to insufficient endometrial hyperplasia, making the endometrium thin and easily damaged, leading to intrauterine adhesions.

4. Congenital factors: such as genetic factors and congenital uterine malformations can cause intrauterine adhesions.

For intrauterine adhesions, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible, identify the cause, and give hysteroscopic separation surgery for treatment. If the estrogen level is low, give medication such as estradiol valerate tablets, nialstradiol tablets, and fully synthetic diethylstilbestrol tablets.
