[Our method of treating Asherman's syndrome].
The paper discusses the problem of treating Asherman's syndrome, which due to common procedures in gynaecology and obstetrics becomes more and more frequent occurrence in gynaecological practice. The genesis of this syndrome is often a result of a too intensive excochleation of the uterus, accompanying infection and lack of endometrial reaction to oestrogens. The authors discussed 14 cases of patients in whom, after excochleation of the uterus, there appeared intrauterine adhesions followed by amenorrhoea. The therapy consisted in removing the adhesions by means of a hysteroscope and inserting an intrauterine device the shape of which was selected depending on the character and localization of adhesions and applying oestrogens locally into the uterus cavity. In order to have the menstrual cycle reconstructed, the patients were administered orally hormones during 4 successive artificially reconstructed cycles. Among the patients undergoing therapy, 86% of them began to menstruate again and 57% of them got pregnant. The use of hysteroscopy reduced maximally the risk of breaking the continuity of the uterus during the resection of large adhesions. Inserting a proper device prevented the recurrence of adhesions and local administering oestrogens into the uterine cavity provided good conditions for the reconstruction of the endometrium.
