Asherman syndrome

The adhesions may cause amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods), repeated miscarriages, and infertility.

However, such symptoms could be related to several conditions. They are more likely to indicate Asherman syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery.

A pelvic exam is usually normal.

Tests may include:

• Transvaginal ultrasound examination
• Hysteroscopy
• Infertility evaluation
• Blood tests to detect tuberculosis or schistosomiasis
