Understanding Intrauterine adhesion: A Guide for women

Intrauterine adhesions represent one of the most challenging conditions affecting women with the desire for future fertility. Intrauterine adhesions, known as Asherman’s syndrome, occurs when there is trauma to or removal of the basal layer, the deepest layer of endometrium, the lining of the uterus in opposing areas in the uterine cavity. Adhesions develop primarily after a D&C Dilation and Curettage performed for elective termination of pregnancy, a missed or incomplete miscarriage, or to treat a retained placenta after delivery. It may occur with or without hemorrhage after delivery or elective termination of pregnancy. Less often, it results after a Dilation and Curettage, D&C for a non-obstetrical procedure for example, excessive bleeding, sampling for endometrial cancer, or removal of endometrial polyps. It can also occur after surgery to remove uterine fibroids. The risk increases for patients undergoing repeated procedures for bleeding or repeated elective termination of pregnancies. Hysteroscopy is the preferred technique to remove the adhesions and scar tissue. #womenshealth #intrauterineinsemination #intrauterineadhesion #ashermanssyndrome #
