Abstract: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a common gynecological disease which is associated with endometrial lesion. In recent years,with the popularity of uterine cavity operation and hysteroscopy surgery,the incidence of IUA,as well as the detection rate,is increasing year by year,which has become the second largest cause of secondary infertility in women. For the treatment of IUA,mild-to-moderate of it can obtain certain therapeutic effect with traditional treatment,but for severe or widespread lining damage,the endometrial regeneration and functional recovery have become intractable clinical problems. With extensive research in the field of stem cells in regenerative medicine,domestic and foreign scholars have confirmed the presence of endometrial stem cells,which provides a new way for the treatment of IUA. In this paper,we make a review for the progress of stem cells in treatment of intrauterine adhesion.
