Las cicatrices en el útero se llaman adherencias intrauterinas. Estos pueden desarrollarse después de ciertos procedimientos como la dilatación y legrado (D&C), un procedimiento en el que se raspa el revestimiento interno de la matriz. El legrado se utiliza para inducir el aborto, extraer los restos de placenta después del parto o la pérdida del embarazo, o para la extracción de fibromas o miomas uterinos. Las adherencias intrauterinas pueden provocar sangrado e infertilidad.

Síntomas

Sangrado vaginal anormal
Dolor pélvico
Pérdida recurrente del embarazo

Tratamiento

Debe analizar sus síntomas con su médico de atención primaria u obstetra/ginecólogo. Es probable que realicen más pruebas, como una prueba hormonal o una histeroscopia. Las adherencias se pueden eliminar mediante cirugía, y este tratamiento puede ir seguido de una terapia de estrógeno para reducir la posibilidad de que el tejido cicatricial regrese.
