What causes uterine adhesions?

Uterine adhesions are usually caused by endometrial injury, infection, surgical procedures and other factors.

Endometrial injury is one of the common causes of uterine adhesions. It may be caused by artificial abortion, dilation and curettage and other operations that cause damage to the basal layer of the endometrium. Infectious factors include pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and other inflammatory diseases. The inflammatory reaction can stimulate fibrinogen to leak out and form adhesions. Surgical procedures such as myomectomy, cesarean section and other gynecological surgeries may also cause trauma to the uterine wall, which may lead to adhesions. In addition, congenital uterine malformations or radiation therapy may also be predisposing factors for uterine adhesions. Special infections such as endometrial tuberculosis, although rare, are causes to consider.

It is recommended to maintain a regular schedule and avoid overexertion. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change sanitary napkins frequently, and avoid using substandard sanitary products. In terms of diet, you can appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein and vitamins, such as eggs, lean meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. Moderate exercise can help improve pelvic blood circulation, but strenuous exercise should be avoided. When abnormal menstruation or infertility symptoms occur, you should seek medical examination promptly and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
