Asherman's syndrome with Treatment and Prevention
Most of the patients with Asherman have scarce or absentee periods but what has normal periods. The adherence sometimes also occurs in other situations, like after election failure, after cesarean section, after uterus surgery, or as a result of basin tuberculosis. Some patients have no periods but feel pain at the time each month that their period would normally arrive. This pain may indicate that menstruation is occuring but the blood cannot exit the uterus because the cervix is blocked by adhesions. These infections are rare in the United States, and uterine complications such as Asherman syndrome related to these infections are even less common. Depending on the degree of severity, Asherman's syndrome may result in infertility, repeated miscarriages, pain from trapped blood, and high risk pregnancies. There is evidence that left untreated, the obstruction of menstrual flow resulting from scarring can lead to endometriosis.
The adhesions may cause amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods), repeated miscarriages, and infertility. Reduced or absent menstrual flow,especially after a pregnancy and delivery, a miscarriage or termination of pregnancy or nown elvic infection is the most common ymptom. There is a variant of Asherman's Syndrome that is more difficult to treat. This condition is called a haematometra and is like a large bruise inside the uterus. Recurrent miscarriage and infertility could also be considered as symptoms. Complications of hysteroscopic surgery are uncommon and include bleeding, perforation of the uterus, and pelvic infection. In some cases, treatment of Asherman syndrome will not cure infertility. An artificial form of Asherman's syndrome can be surgically induced by endometrial ablation in women with excessive uterine bleeding, in lieu of hysterectomy.
Asherman was considered in under is diagnosed because it usually is the survey arrives by the direct diagnosis process for example ultrasonic wave scan. Most cases of Asherman syndrome cannot be predicted or prevented. Treatment involves surgery to cut and remove the adhesions or scar tissue. This can usually be done with hysteroscopy, which uses small instruments and a camera placed into the uterus through the cervix. In more severe cases, laparoscopy is used in addition to hysteroscopy as a protective measure against uterine perforation. Microscissors are usually used to cut adhesions. Many surgeons prescribe estrogen supplementation to stimulate uterine healing respectively the growth of endometrium and place a splint or balloon to prevent apposition of the walls during the immediate post-operative healing phase. Electrocauterization is not recommended. Antibiotic treatment may be necessary if there is an infection.
