Can Steroids Prevent Infertility 2ry To Adhesions?
my wife suffered from intra-abdominal and pelvic bleeding due to suspected ruptured ovarian cyst versus ruptured follicle against a vein in the ovarian wall as shown by blood clots on her left ovary on doing laparoscopy to remove the blood for fear of developing adhesions, currently doctors are advising to take steroids to lessen chances of adhesions further is there a role for steroids to prevent infertility 2ry to adhesions ?
I think that infertility can be prevented with intake of steroids for 2 years and steroids reduces inflammatory response in body and thus helps in reducing adhesions. I would suggest you to continue steroids for 2 years.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
