Uterine adhesion, also known as intrauterine adhesion, is caused by damage to the endometrium, which can result from procedures such as induced abortion, curettage, or infections.
Its symptoms include:
1. Menstrual abnormalities, such as significantly reduced menstrual flow and darker blood color. In severe cases, amenorrhea may occur. Moreover, even with hormone therapy, withdrawal bleeding may not occur.
2. Some patients experience abdominal pain, especially cyclical lower abdominal pain. This pain typically appears about one month after abortion or curettage, often accompanied by a feeling of rectal pressure, recurring approximately once a month, with the pain potentially worsening over time.
3. Uterine adhesion may also cause infertility, as it can interfere with the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
Patients with mild adhesions may not experience obvious symptoms, while those with moderate to severe adhesions usually exhibit more noticeable symptoms. If you are concerned about your condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for treatment, to prevent long-term adverse effects on fertility.
