This scar tissue makes the walls of these uterus or cervix to stick together and reduces the size of the uterus. Asherman’s syndrome is also known as uterine synechiae or intrauterine synechiae. Synechiae means adhesions. Asherman’s syndrome is also known as an intrauterine adhesions (IUA)
In severe cases, the entire front and back walls of the uterus can fuse together. In milder cases, the adhesions can appear in smaller areas of the uterus. The adhesions can be thick or thin, and may be sparsely located or merged together
Depending on the range and thickness of the adhesions Asherman’s Syndrome can be;
- Mild Asherman’s Syndrome- where the adhesions are thin and flimsy and easily torn with a thin instrument.
- Moderate Asherman’s Syndrome- The adhesion is thicker in this grade with strands of muscular tissue mixed with the fibrous tissue.
- Severe Asherman’s Syndrome- The adhesions are thick, and there is extensive damage of the endometrium
Symptoms
- The majority of women who have Asherman syndrome have less or no periods. This could indicate that periods has come, but the blood is unable to leave the uterus because the exit is blocked by scar tissue.

- According to the International Asherman’s Association, about 90 percent of women with Asherman syndrome occur following a dilation and curettage (D & C) procedure. A Dilation and Curettage is generally performed following an incomplete miscarriage, retained placenta after delivery, etc.
- If a Dilation and Curettage is performed between 2 to 4 weeks following delivery for a retained placenta, then there’s a 20-30% chance of developing Asherman syndrome. The risk of developing this condition increases the more D & C procedures a woman has.
- Scar tissue after a Cesarean section or from sutures used to stop hemorrhages
- Endometriosis
- Infections of the reproductive organs
- Radiation treatment
- Sometimes adhesions can occur as the result of removal of fibroids or polyps.
- Sporadic inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the uterus (endometriosis), or endometriosis caused by a pelvic tuberculosis infection or certain other infectious diseases or even certain STDs.

Its destruction is due to many reasons but the main one is ama, a kind of toxin produced from undigested foods. This ama can be associated with both pitta or kapha doshas and blocks the apana’s preferred course. Disturbed vata can cause the pains during menses, pitta involves to cause inflammation. As condition goes on, more inflammation is there that causes scars and then adhesions, which leads to asherman’s syndrome.
