Abstract:
Seventy-six cases of Asherman's syndrome (traumatic amenorrhea) were analyzed clinically. 70% of the patients were young women of the ages from 20 to 30. There was the history of previous abortion with once or twice of curettage in 81.2% of the cases. 66 out of the 76 cases complained of amenorrhea, 57 of periodic lower abdominal pain, and 10 of hypomenorrhea.When the intrauterine adhesions are explored, diagnostic curettage to get some endometrium for histologic study should be done since it is essential to diagnosis as well as to treatment. 57 out of the 76 were cured with one procedure of probe isolation of the adhesions and dilatation. The remained 19 cases were treated with combined Chinese traditional and Western medicine and 15 were cured and 4 improved. 24 women of those cured underwent a normal full term pregnancy and gave birth to a normal child. No vaginal bleeding or adhesion of placenta was observed after delivery in those women.
