Study on the Effect of Combined Estrogen and Progestogen Therapy on Endometrial Repair After Induced Abortion
- Conditions
- Pregnancy Complications
- Interventions
- Drug: 17β-estradiol/dydrogesterone tablets
- Registration Number
- NCT06546397
- Brief Summary
Induced abortion is a common method to terminate pregnancy, but during the operation, it is necessary to dilate the cervix and aspirate the uterine cavity. Repeated induced abortions may increase the risk of uterine damage, leading to cervical stenosis or intrauterine adhesions, thinning of the endometrium, which may affect the implantation of fertilized eggs and the development of embryos, and ultimately may lead to infertility or miscarriage. This study aims to explore the effects of combined estrogen and progesterone on endometrial repair and ovarian function recovery after induced abortion.
- Detailed Description
Postoperative care after induced abortion should prioritize the issue of endometrial repair. In 2021, the Family Planning Branch of the Chinese Medical Association published the "Expert Consensus on Promoting Endometrial Repair After Induced Abortion" \[10\], emphasizing the importance of endometrial repair for high-risk populations following induced abortion. Currently, clinically, methods to promote endometrial repair include estrogen-progestin medications, compound short-acting oral contraceptives, traditional Chinese medicine, and bioelectric stimulation. However, controversies still exist regarding endometrial repair, and selecting an effective and safe treatment plan remains crucial. This study aims to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of estradiol/estradiol/dydrogesterone in endometrial repair after induced abortion through clinical research, providing a basis for endometrial repair and ovarian function recovery post-abortion.
