Iron sucrose infusion.

This patient is scheduled for her third cesarean section in 4 weeks' time and she has iron deficiency anemia.

We gave her 3 sessions of iron sucrose infusion to avoid possible blood transfusion after delivery.

Two weeks after our 3rd session of iron sucrose infusion, she had prelabor rupture of membranes prompting us to have an emergency cesarean section.

Thankfully her hemoglobin went up to 115g/L from 107g/L.

This is a hysteroscopy done on a 33 year-old nulligravid who complaints of heavy me**es.

She came in during the 1st quarter of the year. TVS showed thickened endometrial lining and blood work-up showed moderate anemia.

On hysteroscopy, we found this intrauterine adhesions or synechiae in addition to a thickened endometrial lining.

Uterine synechiae is part of a condition known as Asherman syndrome.

This usually happens after an endometrial curettage leading to these scarring, followed by amenorrhea.

In this patient however, these synechiae may be attributed to uterine infections like tuberculosis, since she didn't have any history of curettage.

Resection of the uterine adhesions was done followed by curettage of the thickened endometrium.

Biopsy of tissues recovered showed Endometrial polyps.

Patient now have normal me**es and her anemia was already corrected by oral iron supplementation.
