WHAT YOU NEED TO BE WARY ABOUT BEFORE GOING FOR THAT FIBROID SURGERY OR D&C.

Surgery can very effectively reduce or solve the problems associated with the general health status of individuals. But for women, when gynological surgeries are involved, it is important that women pay more than the usual attention to the risks associated with them.
It is no longer news that many women have lost their lives, when having surgeries to remove fibroid from the uterus or when having abortions (D&C). But beyond the loss of lives is the infertility problems associated with the mentioned procedures.
Like, I wrote in my blocked womb article, Asherman Syndrome is the main culprit. Let us now look at Asherman in relation to Fibroid / D&C.
Asherman’s syndrome is caused by damage to the uterus that causes the formation of adhesions (scar tissue). The extent of damage can vary, and there are different grades of Asherman’s syndrome severity. The adhesion formation can affect the cervix, uterine lining, the deeper layers of the uterus, or in some cases the opening of the fallopian tubes. The scar tissue may be thin or thick. In some cases the front and back of the uterus may be adhered together, the opening to the fallopian tubes scarred shut, or the cervix covered over with scar tissue. Severe Asherman’s may lead to complete blockage of menstrual blood (endometrial lining) from being shed naturally each menses. This may lead to the formation of endometriosis, another painful and debilitating fertility issue.

What Actually Are Intrauterine Adhesions?
Intrauterine adhesions/scarring or synechiae, is an acquired uterine condition, characterised by the formation of adhesions (scar tissue) inside the uterus and/or the cervix. In many cases, the front and back walls of the uterus stick to one another. In other cases, adhesions only occur in a small portion of the uterus. The extent of the adhesions defines whether the case is mild, moderate, or severe. The adhesions can be thin or thick, spotty in location, or confluent.
The inside of the uterus is like a pocket with the front and back walls flat against each other. The pocket (i.e. uterus) is lined with tissue called endometrium. During menstruation, the superficial (topmost) layer of the endometrium is shed. When a woman becomes pregnant, the embryo implants in the endometrium.
Injury (due to surgery or other medical procedures) to and/or infection of the endometrium may damage the uterine lining and cause formation of adhesions (scar tissue) between the inner walls of the uterus.
Asherman’s Syndrome is the term used to describe adhesions inside the uterus. The scarring can be mild with thin stretchy bands of scar tissue or more severe with formation of thick bands. In the most severe cases, partial or total destruction of the inside of the uterus can occur.

Causes of Asherman’s Syndrome
The most common cause of intrauterine adhesions is injury following a surgical procedure involving the cavity of the uterus such as in fibroid surgeries, D&C and co. Dilatation and curettage (D&C) is a common outpatient surgical procedure during which the cervix (neck of the uterus) is opened and the tissue contents of the uterus are emptied.
Intrauterine adhesions may form following a D&C performed for pregnancy complications such as uterine bleeding following childbirth or miscarriage, or less commonly, for other gynaecological problems that involve the uterus.
Other possible causes of adhesion formation are infections of the uterine lining (endometritis), removal of fibroids in the cavity of the uterus and endometrial ablation (a surgical procedure that is used to intentionally damage the uterine lining to eliminate menstrual periods or make periods lighter).

Surgical Procedures That May Lead To Asherman’s Syndrome

• D&C for miscarriage, incomplete or missed
• D&C for retained placenta
• Suction method D&C
• Hysteroscopic myomectomy (removal of submucosal uterine fibroids bulging into uterine cavity)
• Cesarean section
• Uterine artery embolization (procedure to block blood flow to uterine fibroids, with the intent to shrink them)
• Vacuum procedure performed for abortion, this rarely happens
• IUD (intrauterine device birth control), this rarely happens
Non-Surgical Procedures That May Cause Asherman’s Syndrome

• Retained placenta requiring manual removal
• Uterine packing with gauze to prevent postpartum hemorrhage
• Douching with a caustic chemical to induce abortion
• Endometrial tuberculosis
• Pelvic irradiation for cancer treatment

How Is Asherman’s Syndrome Diagnosed?
Asherman’s syndrome can be diagnosed by hysteroscopy, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), or sonohysterogram (SHG).
Hysteroscopy is the most accurate method to evaluate intrauterine adhesions and it is a procedure in which a thin, telescope-like instrument is inserted through the cervix to allow the doctor to see directly inside the uterus.
HSG and SHG are useful screening tests for adhesions. HSG is an x-ray procedure during which a dye that can be seen on x-ray is placed into the uterine cavity so that the shape of the inside of the uterus can be seen. During a saline ultrasound (SHG), a salt solution similar to normal body fluid is infused through the cervix into the uterus and a sonogram machine is used to see the uterine cavity. In both HSG and SHG, the adhesions are seen as “filling defects,” spaces where the fluid does not flow freely.

How Is Asherman’s Syndrome Treated?

Surgical removal of intrauterine adhesions with hysteroscopic guidance is one way to treat Asherman’s syndrome. A special operating hysteroscope is used to cut away the scar tissue. This is frequently done under anaesthesia. Following removal of the adhesions, many surgeons recommend temporarily placing a device, such as a plastic catheter, inside the uterus to keep the walls of the uterus apart and to prevent adhesions from reforming.
Hormonal treatment with oestrogen and NSAIDs are frequently prescribed after surgery to lessen the chance of reformation of adhesions. In severe cases, more than one attempt at surgical removal of the adhesions may be necessary.
This is another danger most women are running away from. Post-surgery complications are still there and there is no guarantee on the outcome. The reproductive system may be severely damaged too.
Treatment with oestrogen is also another problem as excess oestrogen in the body may promote fibroid growth and obesity which will be issues the woman might have to battle with again after overcoming adhesions through surgery.
