ABSTRACT

Intrauterine adhesions is a gynecological disease associated with an abnormal endometrial repair process, which seriously affects women's fertility. Many studies have found that vaginal microecology is related to the occurrence of uterine adhesions. Through the collation and analysis of relevant literature, the relationship between vaginal microecology and intrauterine adhesions was understood and explored, the pathogenesis of intrauterine adhesions was further studied, and the evaluation methods of vaginal microecology, the composition and classification of normal vaginal microecology were summarized. Based on the recent research progress and achievements of domestic and foreign scientists, scholars and related clinical workers on intrauterine adhesions and vaginal microecology, this paper briefly describes the cytological mechanism of intrauterine adhesions, describes the mechanism of vaginal microecology disorder in intrauterine adhesions, and the significance of studying the correlation between intrauterine adhesions and vaginal microecology. The aim is to provide a new idea and direction for the prevention and treatment of intrauterine adhesions.
