Postoperative Care (Hormonal Therapy, Physical Barriers, Vasodilators, Antibiotics)

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) can occur after mechanical or infectious injury to the endometrium. Normal endometrial repair occurs without scar formation; however, in some women, these normal repair mechanisms are aberrant, resulting in IUA formation. The exact alteration in repair mechanisms is not well understood; however, it likely involves hypoxia, reduced neovascularization, and altered expression of adhesion-associated cytokines.
