Hysteroscopic Intrauterine Adhesiolysis Resulting in Positive Reproductive Outcome

Pooja Choudhary et al. Gynecol Minim Invasive Ther. .

Abstract

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) following any less invasive uterine procedure like curettage or due to genital tuberculosis can lead to partial or complete dysfunction of the endometrium due to adhesions and uterine scarring with impairment of fertility and menstruation and also recurrent pregnancy loss. Therefore, hysteroscopic adhesiolysis was beneficial in this case in restoring fertility, and hence, the introduction of hysteroscopy has definitely improved the fertility outcome and positive reproductive outcome. This is a case report of a 28-year-old infertile woman with IUA leading to bilateral corneal block following dilatation and curettage who conceived after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.

Keywords: Asherman syndrome; dilatation and curettage; hysteroscopic adhesiolysis; intrauterine adhesions.
