Spikes in the uterus

As the inflammatory process develops in the small pelvis, whether it is an inflammation of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the uterus itself, the peritoneum which is also inflamed occurs. As a result of such changes, the entire surface of the peritoneum is covered with a thin film, which in its composition contains a large amount of fibrin. It is with the participation of this substance and there is a gluing of closely lying surfaces, and if the process is localized in the genital organ, then talk about the formation of adhesions in the uterus.

What leads to the development of adhesions?

As already mentioned above, spikes are the result of a protective reaction of the body to the inflammatory process. In this way, on the way to further spread of the infection, a barrier is formed protecting several lying organs from damage.

In turn, the main causes of inflammation of the peritoneum, leading to adhesions in the uterus, are:

• inflammatory process in the fallopian tubes, appendages and the uterus itself;
• surgical interventions performed on pelvic organs;
• proliferation of endometrium - endometriosis .

What are the main signs of the appearance of adhesions in the uterus?

Symptoms of formation of adhesions in the uterus are usually few, and, in most cases, do not bother a woman. As a rule, this kind of process interferes with the normal functioning of the pelvic organs, which the woman notices immediately. For example, the abnormality of the motility of the intestinal loops resulting from this pathology usually leads to a violation of its patency, which causes constipation.

Is pregnancy possible in the presence of adhesions in the uterus?

If the adhesive disease affects the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or directly the uterus, this leads to a disruption of the possibility of capturing the egg by the fallopian tube. In addition, on the way of promoting spermatozoa there is an obstruction, so their encounter with the ovum is almost impossible. That is why pregnancy and spikes in the womb are incompatible things.

How to determine the presence of adhesions in the uterus?

Diagnosis of adhesions in the uterine cavity is a rather difficult process. Most often they are detected in women who have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, or surgical operations on these organs.

Gynecological examination only helps to suggest that there may be adhesions in the uterine cavity. To accurately determine this pathology, a diagnostic method such as laparoscopy is used . In addition, very important in the diagnosis of this disease is the method of MRI, as well as ultrasound.

How to treat spikes in the uterus?

The main method for treating adhesions in the uterus is surgical intervention. In particular, with the help of a laparoscope, separation and further removal of the adhesions in the uterus is performed.

In addition, the process of treatment of adhesions in the uterus also includes the use of medicines. First of all, fibrinolytic drugs and anticoagulants are used. In the postoperative period, each patient is prescribed a course of antibiotic therapy.

The treatment regimen is individual in each case, so the doctor, on the basis of the situation, decides how to treat spikes in the uterus. Sometimes, even the behavior of laparoscopy can not solve the problem completely, i.e. Spikes are formed again. With the help of the methods described above, it is only possible to free the uterus and other organs from adhesions, but not to restore the previous structure of the fallopian tubes, if it is disturbed. That is why, if the pregnancy does not come after the treatment for a long time, doctors recommend using the IVF method. For most couples, a woman who suffers from an adhesion disease, this method is the only option for procreation.
