The Application of Hydrogels in the Treatment of Intrauterine Adhesions.

Abstract

Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA) are a significant cause of infertility and miscarriage, often resulting from trauma to the endometrium. While hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is the primary treatment, the use of hydrogels as anti-adhesion barriers and drug delivery systems is gaining traction for improving patient outcomes. This review aims to explore various hydrogel types, their role in tissue repair, and the integration of stem cell therapy. Recent advancements in biomaterial scaffolds have demonstrated potential in preventing adhesion recurrence and promoting endometrial regeneration. These emerging treatments provide promising avenues for enhancing the efficacy of traditional therapies in IUA management.
