Abstract
- A prospective study was conducted on the incidence of intrauterine pathology after abortions diagnosed by post-abortion hysteroscopy. In 80 patients outpatient hysteroscopy was performed 8-12 weeks after a dilatation and curettage for incomplete or missed abortions. Intrauterine pathological changes were found in 40 patients. There were 10 cases of uterus subseptus/ bicornis and 7 of uterus arcuatus, 2 submucous myoma and 1 corpus polyp. Intrauterine adhesions were diagnosed in 20 patients. The incidence of intrauterine adhesions was about the same after incomplete abortions and after missed abortions, but in patients with recurrent abortions the incidence was significantly higher than in patients after the first abortion (27.8% versus 14.9%). Post-abortion hysteroscopy is a simple and useful method for early diagnosis of congenital and acquired intrauterine pathology after abortions.
