Abstract

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid in the scientific literature to the prediction and prevention of diseases affecting the quality and duration of life. Intrauterine synechiae is a multifactorial polygenic disease that remains with a low effectiveness of overcoming both forma-tion and treatment. With a reasonable systematic approach to the introduction of new methods of treatment and prevention, it will increase the effectiveness of solving this problem. Preservation of reproductive function and health is one of the most important problems of doctors of various specialties. This review presents modern paradigms of pathogenesis and treatment of intrauterine synechiae.
Key words: intrauterine synechiae, Ascherman syndrome, adhesions, adhesiolysis.
