Question 230 · LEK · Menstrual disorders

A young female patient gave birth to her child about a year ago through the vaginal delivery, after which curettage was necessary because of fragments of the placenta did not separate from the uterus. She stopped breastfeeding 4 months ago, but the periods have not reoccurred yet. Her medical history may suggest:

  1. A. Kallmann syndrome.
  2. B. Sheehan’s syndrome.
  3. C. Asherman’s syndrome.
  4. D. Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
  5. E. Couvelaire syndrome.
Hint

Link the postpartum uterine curettage with the type of damage it can cause to the basal layer of the endometrium.
