Disease Overview：Intrauterine adhesions（IUA）
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), commonly known as Asherman’s syndrome, is a gynecological condition characterized by the formation of fibrous bands—scar tissue—within the uterine cavity, typically following trauma such as dilation and curettage (D&C), cesarean delivery, or intrauterine infection. These adhesions may range from mild (thin, focal) to severe (dense, extensive), leading to menstrual disturbances—including amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea—as well as infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. Diagnosis relies on hysteroscopy—the gold standard—and may be supplemented by saline infusion sonography (SIS) or MRI. Management centers on hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, often combined with postoperative strategies like intrauterine device placement, estrogen therapy, or barrier agents to prevent re-adhesion. Success hinges on precise surgical technique, timely intervention, and individualized follow-up.
China offers distinct advantages for IUA treatment: leading reproductive medicine centers employ high-definition hysteroscopic systems with real-time imaging and advanced electrosurgical platforms, enabling meticulous adhesiolysis even in complex cases. Chinese specialists perform thousands of hysteroscopies annually, with published success rates exceeding 85% for moderate adhesions and strong live birth outcomes post-treatment. Costs remain significantly lower than in the US, UK, or Germany—often 40–60% less—without compromising clinical rigor or accreditation standards (e.g., JCI- or ISO-certified hospitals). As a dedicated medical tourism agency, we streamline the international patient journey: verifying hospital credentials, coordinating appointments with board-certified reproductive endocrinologists, providing transparent all-inclusive pricing, arranging visas and accommodations, and offering bilingual clinical support—from pre-travel consultation through postoperative follow-up.

Surgical / Interventional Options
*Eligibility: Moderate–severe adhesions (EFS ≥4), infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or amenorrhea.*
- •Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis (Primary Procedure):
- Procedure Cost Range: ¥8,400–¥15,600 ($1,170–$2,170) - Tier 1 (standard hysteroscope, public hospital): ¥8,400 - Tier 2 (high-definition hysteroscope + intraoperative ultrasound guidance): ¥11,800 - Tier 3 (robotic-assisted hysteroscopy + real-time 3D mapping): ¥15,600

- Cost: ¥29,800 ($4,150) — includes cell processing, two hysteroscopic sessions, and 6-month hormonal support
Quick Selection Guide
- •<35 years, mild adhesions, budget < $150: Start with Tier 1 hormone therapy + TVUS monitoring
- •35–42 years, moderate adhesions, fertility goal: Opt for Tier 2 hysteroscopic adhesiolysis + intrauterine balloon + 3-month estrogen (total ~$2,400)
- •>42 years or recurrent adhesions: Tier 3 hysteroscopy + hyaluronic acid gel + 6-month hormonal regimen (~$2,800)
- •Comorbidities (e.g., PCOS, thyroid dysfunction): Add preoperative endocrine optimization (TSH, AMH, insulin resistance panel: ¥360/$50) before surgical intervention
Pricing & Service Differences: International / VIP Dept vs. Regular Clinic
International Medical Services (IMS / VIP Departments) at Grade-3A public hospitals and private international clinics operate under self-regulated VIP fee schedules. Fees are higher than standard public clinics (which are subsidized solely for domestic citizens and do not accept overseas insurances). In exchange, international patients receive 6 exclusive medical privileges:
