description

Intra-uterine adhesions (IUAs) after initial treatment in patients with Asherman’s Syndrome are one of the main challenging issues in the gynecological practice, since its incidence has been increasing over the last few decades, with a reported recurrence rate up to 30%. Asherman syndrome is characterized by variable scarring inside the uterine cavity that can lead to partial or complete dysfunction of the endometrium with impairment of fertility and menstrual pattern (amenorrhea and hypomenorrhea).
