There are various treatment options for intrauterine adhesions (IUA): 1. Medication therapy: Traditional Chinese medicine administered via intraperitoneal infusion, combined with syndrome differentiation and treatment according to traditional medical principles, helps promote the absorption and resolution of inflammation. However, medication has limited effectiveness in restoring uterine cavity function and is primarily used as an adjunctive therapy after surgery. 2. Hysteroscopic surgery: This approach is direct, simple, and safe. It allows accurate assessment of the extent, type, and severity of adhesions, and enables effective separation of filmy adhesions and fibromuscular adhesions. Under ultrasound guidance, electrosurgical resection can be performed for dense adhesions. After surgery, an intrauterine device (IUD) is often placed to prevent re-adhesion, and sequential estrogen-progestogen therapy is administered to promote endometrial regeneration. 3. Daily care: Adequate rest should be ensured; strenuous physical activity should be avoided. A balanced diet rich in nutrients is recommended to enhance overall immunity and support recovery. Hysteroscopic surgery remains the primary and most effective treatment for intrauterine adhesions. When combined with medication and proper daily care, it yields better therapeutic outcomes. However, the specific treatment plan should be determined based on individual patient conditions and physician recommendations.
