Uterine adhesions

Surgical interventions and inflammatory processes in the uterus can cause serious damage to a woman's body. This often leads to the formation of uterine adhesions. They are small formations of connective tissue. Their presence in the fallopian tubes entails the impossibility of conception.

ICD-10 code

The International Classification of Diseases is a system of coding all existing diseases by assigning them their own numbers. This procedure allows doctors all over the world, regardless of their native language, to understand what problem is bothering the patient. According to the ICD 10 code, adhesions are classified as inflammatory diseases of the female pelvic organs and are coded under numbers N70-N77.

This subgroup does not include complicated situations. Including abortion, ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.0). Pregnancy, childbirth, the puerperium (O23, O75.3, O85, O86).

N70 Salpingitis and oophoritis. This group includes: abscess of fallopian tube, ovary, tubo-ovarian, as well as pyosalpinx, salpingo-oophoritis and tubo-ovarian inflammatory disease. N70.0 Acute salpingitis and oophoritis. N70.1 Chronic salpingitis and oophoritis. N70.9 Salpingitis and oophoritis, unspecified.

Causes of adhesions of the fallopian tubes

Medicine knows several main factors that can lead to the development of this situation. The following reasons can provoke the development of irritation and lead to the formation of adhesions of the fallopian tubes.

• Mechanical effects. These include surgical interventions. They severely injure the uterine mucosa, leading to the development of adhesions.
• Gynecological diseases. Previously suffered serious diseases, including salpingitis, can close the external openings of the tubes and thus lead to their adhesions. Chlamydia and endometriosis are especially dangerous.

Most often, adhesions appear due to previous abortions, cauterizations, and abdominal surgeries. Tears during childbirth, hysteroscopy, cesarean section, and laparoscopy can lead to the development of the process. An intrauterine device can injure the uterus. If nothing prevents a woman from giving birth on her own, it is better to do so. A cesarean section is an easy method, but it can lead to the development of undesirable processes in the abdominal cavity.

[ 1 ]

Pathogenesis

The adhesive process most often manifests itself in different ways. Pelvic pains of a pulling and aching nature are noted. Without understanding the true cause of this condition, women resort to self-medication. The pathogenesis of the phenomenon is quite interesting and depends entirely on the location of the adhesion development.

Thus, constant constipation can lead to a disruption of the intestinal functionality and thus cause the formation of loops in the form of adhesions. The negative process also has a negative effect on pregnancy. As a result of the formation of adhesions, the fallopian tubes are deformed, which does not allow the egg to enter the uterine cavity.

The adhesion process is based on mechanical damage. It may be associated with a previous abortion or surgical intervention. The damaged parts of the uterine mucosa are not restored, the tissue is not able to regenerate and adhesions form at the site of damage.

Symptoms of adhesions of the fallopian tubes

It is not always easy to notice the presence of a problem. Many patients note the appearance of aching and pulling pains. Due attention is not paid to these symptoms. In their intensity, the pain is similar to premenstrual syndrome, intestinal inflammation, etc. It is impossible to independently determine the cause. The pain in this case is associated with anatomical disorders, and not inflammatory processes. The whole danger of the situation is that for a long time a woman may not know about the presence of adhesions of the fallopian tubes, due to the absence of symptoms.

The inability to conceive may be the first reason for the presence of adhesions. If the fallopian tubes are damaged, the possibility of having a child is reduced to zero. The adhesion process does not allow the egg to penetrate into the uterine cavity and thus leads to the development of an ectopic pregnancy.

Obstruction of the fallopian tubes is not characterized by specific symptoms. This condition does not bother the woman, she feels great. Adhesions can be detected during examination.

First signs

Uterine adhesions do not manifest themselves in any way. Their presence in a woman's body does not affect her well-being at all. The menstrual cycle is not disrupted, there is no particular pain. You can suspect something is wrong when you cannot get pregnant. Most often, the lack of conception is the first sign of obstruction.

However, adhesions can be suspected. This is possible if symptoms of an inflammatory process appear. It is characterized by the presence of a pronounced pain syndrome and a significant increase in body temperature.

As mentioned above, the main sign of the development of the adhesion process is the absence of pregnancy in the presence of regular unprotected sexual activity. A woman can suspect the development of a pathological process on her own. There are no problems with ovulation, basal temperature is normal, ultrasound showed no abnormalities, but pregnancy has not occurred.

[ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ]

Pain due to adhesions of the fallopian tubes

There is still no precise data regarding pain syndrome in the presence of adhesions. In most cases, pain is associated with the postoperative rehabilitation period or the presence of an inflammatory process. Whether severe pain can occur with adhesions in the fallopian tubes or not, no specialist can answer unequivocally.

Thanks to the conducted research, one thing has become known: the frequency of pain syndrome in women with adhesions is exactly the same as in the absence of this process. Its severity directly depends on the extent of the scar.

Operations that successfully remove adhesions can relieve pain. Most women describe the pain syndrome as not strong and short-lived. It can intensify with movement, during and after sexual intercourse. The pain can be pronounced when sitting for a long time or as a result of hypothermia.

Uterine-ovarian adhesions

This process is characterized by particular complexity. The fact is that the uterine-ovarian adhesions completely block the "gap" between the uterine cavity and the ovaries. This leads to the impossibility of conception. Pregnancy can occur, but if there is no possibility of penetration of the egg into the uterine cavity, an ectopic pregnancy develops.

If the pathological process is not noticed in time, there is a risk of death. An ectopic pregnancy is characterized by severe bleeding, which is difficult to stop. If it is detected in time, the fertilized egg is removed. In some cases, part or all of the fallopian tube is removed. This surgical intervention means that the woman will never be able to become a mother.

The adhesion process is really dangerous. If it is not detected in time, there is a risk of developing serious complications, including ectopic pregnancy. This indicates that only regular visits to the gynecologist and taking tests will reveal the presence of adhesions.

Consequences

The adhesive process can affect a large area. As a result, long chains are formed, which are based not only on tissues and ligaments, but also on organs. Pathology can attack weak organs, which can be located on any part of the chain. The consequences of this process can be very serious. Often, this leads to an episiotomy. This procedure is often practiced by obstetricians. It requires a small incision in the vagina to facilitate the passage of the fetus during childbirth. As a result, the likelihood of developing an adhesive process increases several times.

The consequences of adhesions directly depend on their size and the area covered. As for the adhesion process in the fallopian tubes, in most cases it is characterized by the impossibility of conceiving a child. If this happens, the risk of developing an ectopic pregnancy is very high. As a result, it will be necessary to remove not only part of the tube, but possibly the entire tube. This will lead to the impossibility of having offspring.

[ 5 ], [ 6 ], [ 7 ]

Complications

Adhesive disease is the most formidable phenomenon that can cause serious health problems. There were cases when the process was so favorable that it did not entail the development of complications. If the adhesive process made itself known, everything depends on its extent.

For a long time, a woman may not even suspect that she has such a pathology. After all, it has no symptoms, and it is impossible to determine it on your own. Problems begin when the menstrual cycle is disrupted, problems with conception arise, and the uterus becomes bent. This is only part of the possible complications of the adhesion process.

Often, adhesions lead to complete obstruction of the fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancy and intestinal obstruction. Moreover, the process can begin to manifest itself in an acute form, posing a certain threat to the woman's life. Any representative of the fair sex is able to protect herself independently, through systematic gynecological examination and not ignoring strange symptoms.

Diagnosis of adhesions in the fallopian tubes

It is not so easy to detect diseases. In this case, it is impossible to make a diagnosis based on the patient's complaints, because there are simply none. Diagnosis of adhesions in the fallopian tubes involves the use of some instrumental methods.

• Hysterosalpingography. This is a radiological method based on the introduction of a special contrast agent into the uterine cavity. Its progress is monitored using an X-ray machine.
• Hydrosonography. The method is based on the introduction of a sterile solution into the uterine cavity. It is studied using ultrasound.
• Laparoscopy. The fallopian tubes can be examined by making several incisions in the abdominal wall. Carbon dioxide and a camera are introduced through them. This allows the condition of the fallopian tubes and their patency to be assessed.
• Fertiloscopy. The method is similar to laparoscopy, however, the incisions are made directly in the vagina.

These methods, even in combination, are not capable of giving a 100% result. Therefore, they are supplemented with additional methods. These include: ultrasound, examination of the cervix and examination of the sperm of the woman's sexual partner.

[ 11 ], [ 12 ], [ 13 ]

Tests

During diagnostics, specialists collect all data on the woman's life. In the absence of fallopian tubes, it is necessary to provide extracts on previously performed operations. An examination by a therapist, infectious disease specialist, endocrinologist and psychiatrist is also important. As for tests, you will have to take quite a lot of them.

General blood test. It allows tracking the quantitative content of all important components. These include: leukocytes, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, platelets. The coagulation time and ESR are determined. Blood biochemistry is carried out, aimed at tracking the amount of total protein, urea, sugar and creatinine. They resort to the help of a coagulogram, the blood group and its Rh factor are determined. As an additional source of information, a general urine test is taken.

Tests for RV, hepatitis, HIV and Australian AG are mandatory. You will have to give blood for hormones: estradiol, testosterone, prolactin and progesterone.

As additional studies, a general smear and bacterial culture are performed. The man must be tested for HIV, RV, Australian AG, Hepatitis C, B. At the same time, a spermogram is also studied.

[ 14 ], [ 15 ]

Instrumental diagnostics

The first step is to determine the presence/absence of regular ovulation in a woman. This is done by ultrasound, and the patient must also measure her basal temperature over several cycles. As an instrumental diagnostic, many methods are used to provide a complete picture of what is happening.

• Ultrasound. A regular transvaginal examination is unable to determine tubal obstruction. A special ultrasound gynecological examination will help to sort this out. The only drawback of this method is the inaccuracy of the results. However, this method is widely used. Before the procedure, the doctor introduces a special sterile solution into the uterine cavity. This will straighten the walls of the uterus and make them more visible on the ultrasound. After this, the specialist determines where the fluid is flowing. If the fallopian tubes are characterized by their obstruction, then the uterus will begin to stretch under the pressure of the introduced solution.
• HSG – hysterosalpingography, x-ray of the uterus and tubes. This method is more informative than the previous one. But in recent years it has not been used so often. It is especially informative in diagnosing tuberculosis of the female genital organs, and not uterine adhesions. The essence of the procedure is the introduction of a contrast agent into the uterine cavity and the execution of several x-rays. In case of obstruction, the solution will collect in one place and this will be visible on the image.
• Diagnostic laparoscopy. This method is the most popular and informative. It allows diagnosing not only the obstruction of the fallopian tubes, but also identifying the main causes of infertility. The advantage of the study is the high accuracy of the results obtained. To determine the obstruction, a special solution is injected into the cervix, which penetrates into the abdominal cavity.
• Fertiloscopy and transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy. This method involves examining the female genitals using a video camera. Most often, this procedure is performed together with chromohydroturbation, hysteroscopy and salpingoscopy.

The above methods allow to determine the exact cause of the obstruction development. But for greater information, instrumental diagnostics is combined with laboratory tests.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound examination allows to determine the presence of pathological processes in the female genitals. The examination is based on the principle of echolocation. The device sends an ultrasound signal and receives it in the reflected form from various tissue environments. Ultrasound is informative, but it is not enough to determine adhesions.

It is carried out by means of an abdominal sensor, that is, through the abdomen and transvaginally. Despite its weak informativeness, the method is the safest. It can be carried out even on pregnant girls. However, a regular ultrasound examination does not provide enough information to determine the presence of adhesions. In this case, they resort to the help of UZGSS. It is based on the introduction of a special sterile substance into the uterine cavity. The specialist observes the movement of fluid and can make a diagnosis based on this.

Nowadays, ultrasound is not used very often, but it is not only effective in cases of obstruction. In general, it is an effective and safe examination.

Differential diagnostics

The patient's blood and urine are taken to detect signs of an inflammatory process. This can be indicated by altered ESR indicators, the level of leukocytes, and the appearance of C-reactive protein. Differential diagnostics are based on methods aimed at studying the blood and determining the levels of components contained in it.

If there are altered indicators, the doctor may assume the presence of an inflammatory process, as a result of which the obstruction developed. This will allow determining the further tactics of the diagnostic measures.

• Bacteriological smear. It is taken to confirm/refute the presence of infection. Bacteria that have penetrated the woman's genitals could provoke an inflammatory process with a change in the structure of the mucous membrane. As a result, the development of adhesions is possible. The procedure for taking a smear is painless, provided that the infection is located at the level of the vagina. If it is located much further, the material for examination is taken from the fallopian tube area. Endoscopic methods are used for this process.
• Hormonal analysis. In this case, the patient's blood is tested. Obstruction of the fallopian tubes may be related to hormone levels. They must be taken on certain days of the menstrual cycle.

[ 16 ], [ 17 ]

Treatment of uterine adhesions

Before starting treatment, the specialist must make sure that the patient has only obstruction. A standard comprehensive examination will determine the exact cause of the process and select the optimal scheme for their elimination. Treatment of uterine adhesions is aimed at the complete removal of the pathology. It can be carried out both conservatively and surgically.

Conservative treatment involves the use of anti-inflammatory therapy. It consists of the use of antibiotics, injections and physiotherapy. These methods will allow achieving positive dynamics, but only if no more than six months have passed since the formation of adhesions. If the adhesion process is pronounced, it will be necessary to resort to surgical intervention.

Surgical treatment is indicated at the age of up to 35 years, given that the woman has regular ovulation and the obstruction is partial. Even such a solution to the problem does not guarantee 100% success.

If a woman manages to become pregnant after the treatment, she should immediately contact a doctor. A specialist will determine the location of the fertilized egg to avoid the development of an ectopic pregnancy.

Medicines

A number of special medications are used to eliminate the adhesion process. They must be taken together to achieve the optimal therapeutic effect. In order to eliminate adhesions, they resort to the help of resorbable drugs. These include: Trypsin and Chymotrypsin. Antihistamines can be prescribed along with them: Diphenhydramine and Suprastin. Anticoagulants such as Heparin are also widely used. To relieve the inflammatory process, they use: Paracetamol, Butadion and Ibuprofen. To eliminate severe pain, they will help: Analgin, Tempalgin and Diclofenac. To cope with infections and speed up the healing process, antibiotics: Tetracycline, Trimezol and Biseptol.

Injections for adhesions in the fallopian tubes

Injections help to cope with the pathological process. Their action is aimed at relieving inflammation, eliminating pain syndrome and resolving adhesions. Injections for adhesions in the fallopian tubes are prescribed by the attending physician, in combination with other treatment methods. The following solutions are actively used: Longidaza, Lidase and Plasmol.

• Longidaza. The solution is administered intramuscularly, in a volume of 3000 IU. The duration of treatment is 5-15 days. Everything depends on the severity of the disease.

Allergic reactions may develop, which disappear on their own after 2-3 days.
• Lidase. The solution is administered subcutaneously and intramuscularly. For injection, the contents of one capsule are dissolved in 1 ml of 0.5% novocaine. The course of treatment depends on the severity of the adhesion process. On average, it is 10-20 days. Injections are not recommended for malignant neoplasms. The drug may cause allergic reactions.
• Plasmol. The solution is administered subcutaneously. One injection per day, 1 ml, is sufficient. The duration of therapy is 10 days. The solution cannot be used in case of tuberculosis, endocarditis, nephritis and hypersensitivity. Allergic reactions may develop.

Douching with propolis for adhesions of the fallopian tubes

Propolis has become widespread in the field of traditional and alternative medicine. It is famous for its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It is used to affect many organs and systems of the body. Douching with propolis is also widely used; it helps to cope with adhesions of the fallopian tubes.

To alleviate the condition, it is necessary to perform a procedure using a 3% alcohol tincture of propolis. The duration of treatment is 10 days. The use of douching, and then applications will allow you to achieve a positive result.

To increase the effectiveness, propolis is used together with calendula. It is necessary to take tinctures of these components in equal quantities. A tablespoon of the mixture is dissolved in 500 ml of warm water and douching is done. The resulting product can also be used as a lotion.

Folk remedies

The healing properties of folk remedies cannot be underestimated. Today, there are many effective recipes that are widely used even in the treatment of serious diseases. Folk remedies can also cope with adhesions. The main thing is to prepare and use the potions correctly.

• Infusion of cinquefoil decoction. The main ingredient is taken in the amount of a tablespoon. The cinquefoil must be poured with 300 ml of vodka and infused well. Take a tablespoon of the product daily, diluted in 50 ml of water.
• Sage infusion. A teaspoon of the herb is steamed in a glass of boiling water. Everything is infused for 30 minutes and taken one third of a glass 3 times a day.
• Milk thistle infusion. A teaspoon of seeds or stems of the main ingredient is poured with 250 ml of boiling water. The infusion should be taken warm. A new portion should be brewed each time.
• Infusion of juniper berries. Take 15 grams of berries and let them steep for 4 hours in a glass of warm water. The resulting remedy should be consumed one tablespoon 3 times a day.
• Infusion of mugwort root. It should be prepared in the evening. To do this, pour 3 tablespoons of crushed mugwort root into a thermos. Pour 3 cups of boiling water over everything. In the morning, strain the infusion and drink a glass 3 times a day.

You shouldn't neglect folk methods of treatment. But it's also wrong to take them as a basis. Folk treatment can be used in combination with other traditional methods.

Cupping hijama

One of the methods used by doctors is bloodletting. Many experiments have been conducted with this method. The results of the study of the hijama bloodletting method simply shocked doctors. This method has a wonderful effect on the body as a whole. It allows you to fight many diseases. Bloodletting can normalize blood pressure, provoke the production of interferon and even fight infections and cancerous tumors.

It has been proven that the method allows to get rid of infertility, both men and women. The impossibility of conception is associated with the presence of problems in the body. In most cases, this is prevented by adhesions in the fallopian tubes.

Before bloodletting, it is necessary to do a massage, preferably using a vacuum type. It is based on the use of cans, which are placed for several minutes. Then, incisions are made in their place. Today, there are many tools for this procedure. The simplest and most painless method is incisions with a blade. It is not recommended to use the bloodletting method if a person has poor blood clotting. The effect of the procedure is amazing, but still, it should be used only after the doctor's approval.

Hirudotherapy for adhesions in the fallopian tubes

Hirudotherapy is nothing more than treatment with leeches. They are able to suck out excess bad blood and thus normalize a person's condition. Hirudotherapy is also widely used for adhesions in the fallopian tubes.

This type of treatment has many advantages. Firstly, the procedure does not require surgical intervention. On the contrary, surgery can lead to the emergence of a new adhesion process. The enzyme in leech saliva allows you to thin the blood and has a destructive effect on mucus, which is the main adhesion. Hirudotherapy has a general strengthening effect on the body as a whole, normalizes the blood supply to tissues and organs.

The procedure is carried out individually and depends on the severity of the disease. Usually, 10-15 procedures are enough. To obtain the optimal result, it is recommended to undergo 2-3 courses, with an interval of 2 weeks.

Hirudotherapy for adhesions in the fallopian tubes helps eliminate the inflammatory process. In addition, the procedure normalizes blood circulation and prevents the development of ectopic pregnancy.

Herbal treatment

The healing power of injuries cannot be underestimated. They were used in ancient times to eliminate many diseases. Herbal treatment helps to achieve positive dynamics, but it must be carried out in combination with other methods.

• Recipe #1. To prepare the infusion, take one part of coltsfoot, centaury, and yellow sweet clover. Mix all these ingredients together, take one tablespoon of the resulting mixture and pour boiling water over it. Let the remedy brew for an hour, take one-third of a glass up to 6 times a day. The course of therapy is a month.
• Recipe #2. Take 2 parts of marshmallow root, coltsfoot, and thyme. For maximum effect, take a part of St. John's wort, nettle, and yarrow. Mix all ingredients together. Take 3 tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour boiling water over it. Infuse the remedy for 2 hours and strain. Take 100 grams 3 times a day. The course of treatment is two months.
• Recipe #3. Take 3 parts of nettle, lady's mantle, 2 parts of lemon balm and valerian leaves. Mix the ingredients together, take a tablespoon of the resulting mixture and pour boiling water over it. Leave for 40 minutes, take 20 grams per day after straining.

Field geranium

Medicinal herbs have a number of positive properties. Thus, field geranium can have an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, normalize blood circulation, and relieve pain. For treatment, it is necessary to use the right geranium. It should be collected during the period of active flowering. The age of the plant should not be less than 2 years. Preparations are made in early autumn, the place of collection of geranium should be ecologically clean.

• Flower infusion. It is necessary to take dry geranium and grind it to a pulp. Then pour water and place in a warm place. After 10 minutes, the remedy is filtered. It should be taken by both men and women.
• Geranium oil. Geranium essential oil helps to normalize hormonal levels and relieve menstrual pain. In addition, it helps to cope with the adhesion process.
• Baths based on geranium oil. For one bath, you need to use 7-8 drops of the main ingredient. You can also use the oil internally. To do this, mix the same amount with 100 grams of honey. You need to use the remedy one tablespoon 3 times a day. You can wash it all down with kefir or fermented baked milk. The duration of treatment is one month.

Flax seed

Folk remedies are famous for their effective means. Not so long ago, flax seeds showed their excellent properties. Due to the content of fatty acids, they are widely used to maintain women's beauty and health. They are a building material and take an active part in metabolic processes. Flax seeds also contain phytoestrogens. They are especially useful for the female body. Phytoestrogens are similar to estrogens in their structure and functionality.

The components that make up flax seeds are able to combat a number of diseases, including adhesions. They replenish the lack of hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle. In addition, phytoestrogens are able to slow down the aging process and preserve beauty.

Flax seeds can be prescribed as an additional therapy for ovarian cancer. There is an opinion that they can lead to breast enlargement. The seeds also have a positive effect in the presence of adhesions in the fallopian tubes. Before using them, you should consult a doctor. There is an opinion that this product can get rid of adhesions of any kind. In some cases, it even helps to cope with malignant neoplasms.

Treatment of adhesions must be accompanied by doctor's recommendations. Whether or not folk methods can be used in this case is also decided by a specialist. The main danger of adhesions is that they can lead to organ displacement.

[ 25 ]

Homeopathy

Homeopathic remedies are widely used to eliminate many diseases. You cannot resort to homeopathy on your own. The fact is that homeopathic remedies do not undergo clinical trials. Therefore, even despite their natural composition, the risk of developing negative reactions from the body is high.

In case of uterine adhesions, it is recommended to use Fluoride preparations. These include Acidum fluoricum and Calcium fluoricum. Causticum and Graphites have similar properties.

The preparations contain chemicals. They can cause negative reactions from the body. This may include nausea, vomiting, and headache. Therefore, the remedy must be taken with extreme caution. Only an experienced specialist can advise detailed information about a specific homeopathic remedy.

Physiotherapy for adhesions in the fallopian tubes

Many methods are used to remove adhesions. Physiotherapy is one of the effective methods for removing adhesions in the fallopian tubes. It can soften the connective tissue. Under the influence of physiotherapy, adhesions become stretchable and thin. This therapeutic effect allows patients to achieve maximum results and get rid of unpleasant sensations forever.

Among the most common physiotherapeutic methods are: ozokerite and paraffin applications to the abdominal area. These procedures involve the use of warm paraffin. It must be applied to the affected areas. Due to its warming effect, paraffin helps to dissolve adhesions. The course of therapy is 10 procedures. Repeated treatment is carried out after 2-3 months. Electrophoresis with calcium, magnesium and zinc is often used. The course of treatment is 20 sessions.

Massage for adhesions of the fallopian tubes

Female genitals are a very weak part of the body. They consist of connective tissue. If a woman has weak muscle contractility, scars may form on the ovaries. As a result, the ligaments are deformed, and the uterus is in the wrong position. Massage for adhesions in the fallopian tubes allows you to restore the functionality of all organs and systems, as well as eliminate the negative process.

This type of impact must be carried out in a gynecological chair. Naturally, the massage must be done by a person competent in this matter. Only a specialist can know the correct method of influencing the adhesion process. During the massage, the woman should move to the edge of the chair, with her legs spread and resting on the footrests. The patient should lie quietly. If her health worsens, you should inform the doctor about it.

The doctor massages the uterus with both hands. At the same time, he palpates it from the vagina and from the outside on the abdomen. The doctor's task is to palpate the uterus from both sides. Sometimes it is necessary to conduct several massage sessions to achieve a positive effect. The course is selected individually. In no case should you resort to such a massage on your own. The duration of the session is 5-20 minutes.

Surgical treatment

In some cases, obstruction requires surgical intervention. This is done in severe cases when drug therapy fails to cope with the task. Surgical treatment is aimed at removing adhesions and restoring the normal structure of the fallopian tubes. It is performed by laparoscopy, microsurgery and salpingography with recanalization.

Laparoscopy has a special advantage. It allows not only to remove the adhesion process, but also to determine the true cause of its development. It is used to restore the normal anatomical patency of the fallopian tubes. This allows to eliminate the main cause of infertility.

Other manipulations can be performed during laparoscopy. These include: fimbriolysis, salpingolysis, salpingostomatoplasty and salpingosalpingoanastomosis. The first procedure allows you to release the cilia from the fallopian tube. Salpingolysis is cutting and removing the fused areas around the fallopian tube. The procedure allows you to eliminate existing kinks and curvatures. Salpingostomatoplasty is cutting and forming an anatomically correct opening in the fallopian tube. Finally, salpingosalpingoanastomosis allows you to remove part of the damaged area and stitch the remaining parts together.

Conservative treatment after laparoscopy allows to increase the effectiveness of this procedure. The decision on surgical intervention is made by a specialist.

Laparoscopy of fallopian tube adhesions

Laparoscopy is widely used both for diagnostics and for eliminating adhesions. The surgical intervention involves making two small incisions on the abdominal wall. A special device, a laparoscope, is inserted into one opening. This is a thin tube with a video camera at the end. It allows the image to be transmitted to the screen. A special manipulator is inserted into the other incision. It allows the condition of the organs to be assessed and an accurate diagnosis to be made. Laparoscopy for adhesions in the fallopian tubes is performed quite often. This method is truly effective.

Laparoscopy allows not only to remove the adhesion process, but also to restore full functionality. After such a surgical intervention, a woman can easily become pregnant. Laparoscopy allows to restore reproductive function. High-quality treatment after surgery allows the body to recover quickly.

Dissection of adhesions in the fallopian tubes

Laparoscopy is widely used in gynecology, it is performed under general anesthesia. Dissection of adhesions in the fallopian tubes is performed through incisions in the abdominal cavity. A special gas is injected into the incisions, allowing to obtain a clear picture displayed on the screen. If additional examination is necessary, another incision is made in the lower abdomen. As for the restoration of reproductive function, after the operation, it occurs quickly.

Laparoscopy carries certain risks. It is a surgical intervention, as a result of which there is a possibility of developing new adhesions. Complications may arise, but in very rare cases. More often this concerns general anesthesia. It is enough to consult an anesthesiologist on this topic.

The needle is inserted blindly during surgery, so there is a risk of causing additional damage. The likelihood of such a development remains in patients who have previously undergone abdominal surgery.

In gynecology, laparoscopy is prescribed after consultation with a doctor and according to his indications. The specialist is obliged to tell about the course of the operation, possible consequences and answer the patient's questions.

Prevention

Every woman can prevent the occurrence of adhesions. Prevention includes timely removal of inflammatory processes that have formed in the female genital organs. To avoid the development of this process, it is necessary to visit gynecological examinations and take tests in a timely manner.

An existing infection, even a minor one, should be treated immediately. If the process is neglected, there is a risk of worsening the situation. The infection can become chronic and provoke the development of negative consequences.

It is recommended to avoid casual sex and unprotected sexual intercourse. Maintaining a woman's immune system at a high level will allow her to resist many viruses and infections. Bacteria, getting into the body, cause serious harm to it.

It is also necessary to review contraception methods. Intramastal coils can injure the mucous membrane and lead to the development of adhesions. Protected sexual intercourse will help to avoid unwanted pregnancy and, as a consequence, abortion. Scraping of the fetus is a trauma for the uterus, the mucous membrane is not capable of regeneration, which will ultimately lead to the adhesion process. All this indicates that the life and health of a woman is exclusively in her hands.

Forecast

After the surgery, the fallopian tube returns to normal. The prognosis in this case is favorable. Conception and normal pregnancy are possible with full restoration of the patient's reproductive function. The further condition directly depends on the complexity of the adhesion process and the general condition of the fallopian tubes. There are cases when the epithelium cannot be restored. This entails the impossibility of pregnancy and, as a consequence, an unfavorable prognosis.

Conception that occurs after recovery is necessarily monitored by the attending physician. After all, the risk of spontaneous abortion or ectopic pregnancy is quite high. The specialist must immediately track the location of the fertilized egg. For a favorable course of pregnancy, patients are recommended to use hormonal drugs. It is necessary to plan conception after the removal of adhesions, because there is a possibility of the formation of new adhesions.
