Brief Summary
Background: Intrauterine adhesions are a difficult clinical problem for reproductive
infertility. The most common cause is uterine cavity surgery and post-abortion (including
abortion and spontaneous abortion). After the abortion, the uterine cavity adhesion, when is
the key point, the literature is not much ink, early literature has mentioned that after the
abortion, the uterus scraping action is scraped in four days and the uterine adhesion will be
smaller than one to four weeks. Much more, it seems that the sooner the uterine adhesion
factor is excluded, the more it can reduce uterine adhesion, but the uterine curettage itself
is a risk factor for uterine adhesion. This early practice, the current clinical application,
is not used, Instead, it is a hysteroscopy. Our past clinical observations, as soon as
possible after the abortion, outpatient hysteroscopy, can find the tissue factors that may
cause adhesion in the uterine cavity as soon as possible, and immediately remove it with an
outpatient hysteroscope.
Objective: To verify the early outpatient hysteroscopy and reduce the occurrence of
intrauterine adhesion after abortion.
Expected benefits to patients: Abortion is likely to cause intrauterine adhesions, which may
further cause the incidence of reproductive infertility, should be involved before the
formation of permanent injury, reduce the adhesion of the uterine cavity. Outpatient
hysteroscopy is a simple and easy-to-use examination procedure that is painless and does not
require anesthesia. Although it is invasive but has few complications, it is expected to
reduce the occurrence of intrauterine adhesion after abortion.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
