Cervical adhesion after abortion

Post-abortion cervical intrauterine adhesions are caused by damage to the endometrium or cervical tissue during the abortion procedure, which leads to abnormal adhesions during tissue healing. The key to preventing and treating adhesions is to reduce surgical trauma, promote tissue repair, and take medical intervention when necessary.

1. The main causes of cervical adhesion after abortion include improper surgical operation, infection, and individual differences in healing ability. During the operation, mechanical damage to the endometrium or cervix by the instrument may trigger an inflammatory response, leading to tissue fibrosis and adhesion formation. Infection may aggravate inflammation and further promote the formation of adhesions. Due to physical reasons, some women are more likely to develop fibrosis during tissue healing.

2. Measures to prevent cervical and intrauterine adhesions include choosing a regular medical institution for surgery, postoperative anti-infection treatment, and promoting endometrial repair. The surgery should be performed by an experienced doctor to minimize damage to the endometrium. After surgery, antibiotics can be used as prescribed by the doctor to prevent infection, and estrogen drugs can be supplemented to promote endometrial regeneration. Regular postoperative follow-up examinations can be performed to detect and deal with adhesion problems early.

3. Treatments for cervical and intrauterine adhesions include medication, hysteroscopic surgery, and physical therapy. Medication mainly uses estrogen and anti-inflammatory drugs to help repair the endometrium and reduce inflammation. Hysteroscopic surgery is the main method for treating adhesions, which can restore the normal shape of the uterine cavity by separating the adhesion tissue. Physical therapy, such as low-frequency electrical stimulation and ultrasound therapy, can promote local blood circulation and tissue repair.

4. Postoperative care and lifestyle adjustment are essential to prevent adhesion recurrence. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor after surgery, keep the vulva clean and prevent infection. Eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as eggs, fish, green leafy vegetables and fruits, to promote physical recovery. Avoid smoking and drinking to reduce adverse effects on the endometrium.

Cervical and intrauterine adhesions after artificial abortion are a preventable and treatable complication. The key lies in early detection and scientific intervention. The incidence of adhesions can be effectively reduced through standardized surgical operations, rational medication and postoperative care. For patients who have already developed adhesions, timely treatment measures can restore the normal function of the uterine cavity and reduce the impact on reproductive health. Regular postoperative follow-up and health management are important links to ensure long-term recovery.
