What are the consequences of not treating endometrial adhesions?
In general, if endometrial adhesions are left untreated, they may lead to consequences such as cyclical abdominal pain, menstrual cycle disorders, and infertility. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment along with appropriate care. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Cyclical Abdominal Pain
Due to endometrial adhesions that are not effectively treated, menstrual blood cannot flow out smoothly and becomes trapped within the uterine cavity, resulting in cyclical abdominal pain.
2. Menstrual Cycle Disorders
Menstruation normally occurs when the endometrial lining sheds. When adhesions occur, the endometrium cannot shed properly, leading to prolonged menstruation, reduced menstrual flow, and in severe cases, disruption of the menstrual cycle.
3. Infertility
If the condition is severe enough to damage the endometrium and cause lumen narrowing or bilateral fallopian tube adhesions, it can interfere with the union of sperm and egg and prevent embryo implantation in the uterine cavity, resulting in infertility.
In addition, recurrent miscarriages may also occur. After onset, patients should cooperate with their doctor’s treatment plan, get adequate rest, and maintain good hygiene practices.
