“Hysteroscopy for Scar Tissue Removal”
As a consequence of previous uterine surgeries, such as dilation and curettage (D&C), cesarean sections, or myomectomies, the formation of scar tissue within the uterine cavity can occur. This scar tissue, known as intrauterine adhesions or synechiae, can lead to a range of reproductive health issues, necessitating medical intervention through procedures like hysteroscopy for scar tissue removal.
Four week Follow up appointment after hysteroscopy on 6/15/23
Greetings and welcome back! Today, my spouse and I attended my hysteroscopy follow-up appointment, which was scheduled to assess the progress after my scar tissue removal procedure on June 15, 2023. Encouragingly, the two-week post-operative evaluation yielded highly positive results, confirming the appropriate positioning of the balloon and satisfactory outcomes in all aspects. With this favorable outcome, we eagerly anticipated the removal of the balloon and the subsequent administration of stem cells to facilitate the thickening of my uterine lining in preparation for embryo transfer. During the appointment, the medical team diligently followed the standard protocol, including the assessment of vital signs and the extraction of approximately four or five tubes of blood.
Regarding the uterine PRP treatment, medical professionals commonly recommend it for individuals grappling with fertility challenges attributed to a thin endometrial lining or recurrent implantation failures. This specific procedure aims to augment the thickness of the endometrial lining, thereby significantly enhancing the chances of successful implantation. Given the critical role of a healthy and adequate endometrium in establishing a pregnancy during IVF, the use of PRP has garnered attention in the field of medicine, particularly in addressing gynecological disorders.
To my surprise, it was only when the doctor entered the exam room that I learned about the extension of the balloon’s retention for another week. Subsequently, the doctor performed the stem cell infusion through the catheter of the balloon, resulting in unexpected intense cramping. While uncertain about the subsequent steps following the balloon’s removal and the overall process involving the placement of the stem cells, I will make sure to keep you all updated. Please stay tuned for further information.
