Asherman’s Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment at Antai Intrauterine adhesions causing amenorrhea after curettage were first described by Fritsch in 1894. Later Asherman in 1950 described the history of 29 women with amenorrhea secondary to trauma of the uterine cavity, the Asherman’s syndrome (AS). AS is defined by the presence of intrauterine adhesions or adhesions in the endocervix with consequent risk…

Ovarian cysts, sometimes reported as ovarian masses or adnexal masses, are frequently found incidentally in women who have no symptoms. These cysts can be physiologic (having to do with ovulation) or neoplastic—either benign, borderline (having low malignant potential), or frankly malignant. Thus, these incidental lesions pose many diagnostic challenges to the clinician. The vast majority of cysts are benign, but…

The immune system makes an abundance of proteins called antibodies. Antibodies are made by white blood cells (B cells). The antibodies recognize and combat infectious organisms (germs) in the body. Antibodies develop in our immune system to help the body fight infectious organisms. When an antibody recognizes the foreign proteins of an infectious organism, it recruits other proteins and cells…

Biochemical pregnancies or chemical pregnancies are in fact diagnosable and treatable, at Antai Hospital with a full refund guaranteed! What is a chemical pregnancy? Biochemical pregnancy has been variously defined by different authors. All these definitions express the same idea. Sher defined a “chemical pregnancy” as one where in spite of the beta hCG test being “positive”, the pregnancy fails…

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia results from HPV infection within cervical cells. These changes, especially in young women, commonly revert to normal cells due to an intact immune response and rapid turnover of cells on the cervix. About 60% of CIN-1 will regress to normal after 1 year. Women with CIN-2 and CIN-3 are at high risk for developing invasive cancer, although…

Despite the diversity of cancer-related risk factors, infections with bacteria and viruses are known risk factors for cancer. Worldwide, the most prominent infectious agents causing cancer are Helicobacter pylori (36.3%) and HPV (31.1%), followed by hepatitis B (16.3%) and C (7.1%). Despite lower numbers of cancer related to infection with other agents, including Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus type 8,…

Missed Miscarriage Missed miscarriage is where the embryo or fetus did not form or has died, but the placenta and embryonic tissues remain in the uterus with no physical miscarriage. According to clinical statistics, there are about 43 disorders that can cause a missed miscarriage. Immunological disorders account for 67% of missed miscarriages. Anatomical disorders account for 14%. Endocrine disorders…

Why do miscarriages happen? Dr. Chen Fenglin’s clinical research led to an important scientific discovery that recurrent immunological miscarriage can be caused by induced abortion, sexual intercourse during menstruation, or childbirth. In those situations, paternal tissues present in the woman’s body can enter through her endometrium vein. The mother’s body then recognizes the paternal tissues as foreign proteins and naturally…
