Uterine Synechiae

Uterine synechiae are adhesions or scar tissue that form within the uterine cavity as a result of trauma secondary to uterine surgery such as myomectomy or botched curettage.

Prolonged use of intrauterine devices (IUDs)

Post-abortion or post-partum curettages

Cesarean sections where infectious problems occurred

Surgeries to remove fibroids or polyps

Symptoms

Depending on their severity, these can cause:

Amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation)

Hypomenorrhoea (scanty menstruation)

Infertility

Recurrent miscarriages

- Transvaginal ultrasound or Gynecological vaginal ultrasound.
- Hysteroscopy.

Can I have a baby if I have uterine synechiae?

Uterine synechiae rarely affect fertility, however, it's advisable for women with moderate cases to consider treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), especially if they are over 35 years old.

In most cases, they should undergo minor surgery known as hysteroscopy to remove uterine synechiae before proceeding with IVF treatment.
