What it may mean if periods become much lighter or stop after a D and C or other uterine procedure, and why difficulty conceiving afterwards should be assessed.

Spoken in Marathi with English clinical terms. Kept alongside the general Asherman explainer because it is symptom-led.

Most people who have a D and C are not left with adhesions. Where periods change markedly afterwards, ask for assessment rather than assuming the worst or ignoring it.

Key takeaways

  • A marked change in menstrual flow after a uterine procedure deserves assessment.
  • Scans and hysteroscopy are used to look for adhesions.
  • Treatment is possible; outcomes depend on how extensive the adhesions are.
