Chances of intrauterine adhesions after curettage

The risk of uterine adhesions after curettage is high. The curettage surgery will cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium, especially when the operation is not done properly, which may lead to serious damage to the basal layer of the endometrium. The basal layer of the endometrium is an important basis for the self-repair of the endometrium. once damaged, it is easy to cause adhesions. Second, if infection occurs after curettage, inflammatory stimulation can cause inflammation in the endometrium and increase the risk of adhesions. Infection may result from bacteria introduced during surgery or poor personal hygiene after surgery. In addition, there are differences in endometrial repair ability among different individuals. Some women's endometrium itself is more fragile, or there are some basic diseases that affect endometrial repair, and intrauterine adhesions are more likely to occur after curettage. Moreover, if multiple curettages are performed, the endometrium is repeatedly damaged, and the possibility of intrauterine adhesions will increase significantly. Each curettage is a blow to the endometrium, and the cumulative damage is greater. In short, the occurrence of uterine adhesions after curettage is not rare and needs to be highly valued. Patients should follow the doctor's advice after curettage, pay attention to physical changes, and seek medical attention in time if there is any abnormality. At the same time, doctors should strictly follow the operating specifications when performing curettage surgery to minimize damage to the endometrium to reduce the incidence of uterine adhesions.
