Adjuvant Therapy for Intrauterine Adhesions Between Two Groups

A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Intrauterine Balloon Compared to Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter in the Therapy for Uterine Adhesion After Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis

This study was taken out to compare two mechanical devices (intrauterine balloon and Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter) in the therapy for intrauterine adhesions after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Participates were assigned into two groups by randomly.

Intrauterine balloon and Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter are both effective in the therapy for intrauterine adhesion.

The Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter are usually inserted into the uterine after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Foley Catheter is removed after three days while intrauterine device is removed two or three month later.

The heart-shaped intrauterine balloon is designed to fit into the cavity of the uterus, and usually removed on the 7th day after surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Moderate to severe intrauterine adhesion (AFS score ≥5）
• Agreement to have a second-look hysteroscopy
• no previous history of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Minimal adhesion (AFS score<5)
• Previous hysteroscopic adhesiolysis
