AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Women in childbearing age.
* At least six months postpartum.
* With cesarean scar niche/defect (CSD) by transvaginal ultrasound that is defined as "indentation at the site in the cesarean section scar with a depth of at least 2 mm" that was agreed upon in 2019 by a European task force
Exclusion Criteria:
* Severely Obese (Body mass index; BMI more than or equal to 35 kg/m2).
* Women with abnormal uterine pathology, observed during the ultrasound examination that may have been responsible for abnormal uterine bleeding, including endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, malignancy or myomas.
* Women with any cause of pelvic pain as pelvic inflammatory diseases, endometriosis or adenomyosis.
* Women with history of classic upper segment cesarean section or hysterotomy.
* Women with history of previous uterine scars rather than cesarean sections as myomectomy.
* Women with bleeding tendency disorders, taking anticoagulants or having chronic medical conditions as liver diseases, or coagulopathies.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
