Cervical adhesions can easily lead to female infertility, primarily due to mechanical injuries caused by incorrect cell phone operations, or repeated abortion and curettage procedures that result in cervical damage.
Cervical adhesions are indeed quite obvious, but there are still many careless women who ignore some common symptoms, resulting in their exacerbation.
What should be done for cervical adhesion? How deeply does it affect female pregnancy? Let's take a look together.
Cervical adhesions are a serious condition for women, and the most significant harm is that it can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
Upon being diagnosed with cervical adhesions, what should be done? Once cervical adhesion is confirmed, active treatment should be pursued.
Currently, the most commonly used method for treating cervical adhesions is hysteroscopic surgery, which involves mechanically separating the adhesions at the affected area.
Following surgical treatment, due to individual differences in constitution and the severity of adhesion formation, recovery varies accordingly.
Some individuals recover more quickly and can ovulate promptly, whereas those with severe adhesions may take longer to menstruate.
After surgery, there is still a risk of re-adhesion in the cervix. Should re-adhesion occur, it would significantly increase the difficulty of subsequent treatment. Therefore, after the cervical adhesiolysis procedure, it is necessary to place an intrauterine device (IUD) within the area. The IUD plays a support role, stimulating the growth of the endometrium. This effectively prevents the recurrence of cervical adhesions.
Postoperatively, anti-infection treatment is required, and an appropriate amount of estrogen supplementation is needed. Regular follow-up examinations are also necessary.
Although hysteroscopic surgery is significantly effective for treating cervical adhesions, it is crucial for women to detect the condition in its early stages.
If the menstrual abnormalities of women are not successful in pregnancy, then you should consider cervical adhesions.
What are the symptoms of cervical adhesions in women? There are many types of gynecological diseases, and many symptoms are very similar. If cervical adhesions occur, what symptoms do they present? The main symptom for patients with cervical adhesions is menstrual abnormalities (female bleeding, amenorrhea), significant abdominal pain before menstruation, and an increased risk of infertility. Even if fertilization occurs, there is a high likelihood of miscarriage during pregnancy, and complications such as ectopic pregnancy can arise. Some women may also experience complex phenomena like placenta previa or uterine implantation.
Generally speaking, women are often diagnosed with cervical adhesions during their non-menstrual periods due to amenorrhea, long-term infertility despite marriage for many years, or high risk of miscarriage.
Some patients with milder symptoms simply treat the symptoms superficially without investigating the root cause, and after symptom relief, they quickly disregard the issue. This form of missed diagnosis can lead to more serious adhesions and even scarred uterine linings, which are irreversible and present significant challenges for subsequent treatment.
It can be said that cervical adhesions cause great harm to women, so only by doing early detection and treatment can we avoid the more serious impact of cervical adhesions on patients.
Cervical adhesions are caused by cervical inflammation, which may be triggered by various factors.
1. When the negative pressure is too high or due to its repeated entry and exit at the cervical os, it can easily cause cervical adhesions.
Moreover, in some surgical procedures, due to improper manipulation by the surgeon, thin cervical mucosa is damaged, which easily leads to cervical adhesions.
2. The short interval between two artificial abortions increases the risk of cervical adhesions.
Due to multiple induced abortions, the uterine cervix is significantly damaged, and the interruption in time between previous injuries is short. The damage from the last procedure has not fully healed, and the subsequent injury can easily lead to adhesions in the cervix.
Repeated uterine manipulations greatly stimulate the cervix and cause deposition of connective tissue, leading to long-term development that reduces the elasticity and increases the hardness of the cervix, causing the cervical orifice to become tight, resulting in cervical injury and adhesion.
4. During the process of artificial abortion, if the sterilization of instruments is not strict and combined with a weak sense of self-protection, sexual activity too early after the operation exacerbates infection and leads to cervical adhesion.
5. Some gynecological diseases have not been adequately treated and have not healed, leading to recurrent infections that exacerbate inflammation, resulting in cervical adhesions.
Can cervical adhesion be detected by ultrasound? Ultrasound is widely used in medical examinations and its quick and accurate application is well recognized.
Can B-mode ultrasound detect cervical adhesion? In gynecological examinations, ultrasound is very commonly used and can detect various abnormalities in the body.
The principle of ultrasound examination is that the instrument transmits ultrasound waves and then receives information reflected back from various parts of the body. It can be used to diagnose a variety of gynecological diseases, but not all conditions can be identified using B-mode ultrasound. For instance, cervical adhesion cannot be diagnosed with B-mode ultrasound.
Cervical adhesions are primarily caused by injury to the mucosal layer, and although B-mode ultrasound can be applied to many gynecological diseases, it is ineffective for cervical adhesions.
Therefore, in the examination of cervical adhesions, patients must utilize other methods such as hysteroscope or uterine probe inspection to effectively identify the presence of adhesions in the cervix.
Therefore, if there are symptoms present in the body and the B-mode ultrasound examination reveals no abnormalities, female friends should not give up further investigation. Symptoms may indicate a cause, and only by identifying the cause can treatment be targeted appropriately.
The impact of cervical adhesions on pregnancy is significant. Among women with infertility, a considerable proportion suffer from cervical adhesion.
Sperm must pass through the cervix before reaching the uterus to combine with an egg, so a cervical adhesions presents as an obstacle for sperm, which leads to difficulties in passage and directly impacts fertility.
However, if a female friend is diagnosed with cervical adhesions, there's no need to panic. This condition is not severe enough to warrant treatment. Adhesion can be separated through hysteroscopic surgery. Currently, the most effective treatment for cervical adhesions is hysteroscopic surgery, which has several advantages. Firstly, it is highly accurate, secondly, it is a minimally invasive procedure, and thirdly, the trauma caused by the surgery is minimal.
Cervical adhesions can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine via abdominal perfusion therapy.
During the recovery period following treatment, it is crucial to prevent cervical adhesions from occurring again. There will be no issues with conceiving after the recovery process.
Many women prefer to have an artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) method for their baby due to the fear of the pain during the surgery process, or they are concerned about the long treatment period.
This is incorrect. Regardless of the method used to conceive, it is essential that the cervix remains healthy during the gestational process. Otherwise, even if other methods of conception are utilized, if the cervix fails to recover its function post-conception, there is a high likelihood of miscarriage.
Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly treat cervical adhesions before considering pregnancy.
