Relevant if your periods became much lighter or stopped after a uterine procedure.
Most uterine procedures do not cause Asherman syndrome. Where adhesions are suspected, hysteroscopy is the usual way to confirm and treat them.
Key takeaways
- Adhesions inside the uterine cavity can reduce menstrual flow and affect implantation.
- Hysteroscopy is used both to diagnose and to divide adhesions.
- A single D and C does not usually lead to Asherman syndrome.
