Abstract
To determine whether there is any improvement in the endometrial receptivity in infertile women with Asherman's syndrome undergoing hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. This was a prospective observational clinical analysis of 40 infertile patients who underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for Asherman's syndrome in a tertiary level hospital. Endometrial thickness and blood flow impedance of the uterine spiral artery by transvaginal color pulsed Doppler ultrasound was measured post-menstrual on day 2/3 and post-menstrual on day 21 pre- and post-hysteroscopic adhesiolysis or at a randomly chosen time in patients with amenorrhea. The age of the patients was 18-36 years (mean 29.2 years). The mean duration of infertility was 6.9 years. There were 27 (67.5 %) women with primary infertility and 13 (32.5 %) had secondary infertility. 22 (55 %) women had had genital tuberculosis in the past. A significant improvement in the endometrial thickness was observed on day 2 (p < 0.0001) and day 21 (p < 0.0001) 3 months post-adhesiolysis. The spiral artery RI was statistically significant (p < 0.04) on day 2 pre-adhesiolysis compared to post-adhesiolysis. A significant improvement in the endometrial thickness was observed post-adhesiolysis. A high blood flow impedance of spiral artery perhaps impairs growth of the endometrium making it unsuitable for successful implantation.
