Intrauterine adhesions can lead to amenorrhea. Mild intrauterine adhesions can be treated with medication. For severe intrauterine adhesions, hysteroscopic dilation may be performed, followed by taking short-term oral contraceptives for three cycles to prevent re-adhesion. After surgery, personal hygiene should be maintained, sexual intercourse should be avoided too early, and uterine cavity irritation should be minimized as much as possible.
