On uterine atresia consequent to curettage..acta obst. et gvnaec. scandinav., 949, 28, **ASHERMAN, J. G. Traumatic intrauterine adhesions.:journal. Obst. & Gvnaec. Brit. Emp., 1950, 57, Asherman described amenorrhoea traumatica (atretica) secondary to stenosis in the region of the internal cervical os in 1948 [1] in 1950 he correlated the presence of intrauterine adhesions with infertility and spontaneous abortion Scant or absent menstrual flow is the most common disturbance of this condition [1] ASHERMAN, J.

3 Causes The primary causes of Ashermans are Interventional procedures Acquired Interventional Causes of Ashermans Syndrome Surgical scraping. Cleaning of the uterine wall likely to happen after a pregnancy-related D&C if an infection is present in the uterus during the time of the procedure. can also occur after other types of uterine surgery can also result from intrauterine surgery to remove fibroids, Uterine structural defects septum, bicornuate uterus, large polyps At cesarean section sites Uterine curettage may be followed by immediate and/or delayed complications. immediate complications perforation of the uterus with hemorrhage and various postabortal infections (endometritis, salpingitis, parametritis, peritonitis) Delayed sequelae of a D&C include the development of uterine adhesions or synechiae Incidence of intrauterine adhesions after one D&C was found to be 16% most were mild lesions After two and three procedures, the incidences were 14 and 32% respectively more than 50% were severe adhesions A D&C is the most common cause of uterine synechiae Ashenman encountered intrauterine adhesions in 44 out of 61 women who had undergone 2 or more curettages* May also result from cesarean section, myomectomv, metroplasty and intracavity radium insertion.

Traumatic intrauterine adhesions.:journal. Obst. & Gvnaec. 18 Brit. Emp., 1950, 57,

4 Acquired Causes of Ashermans Syndrome A severe pelvic infection unrelated to surgery Surgical scraping. sporadic inflammation of mucous membrane lining the uterus. Endometritis caused by tuberculosis or certain other infectious disease. Spontaneous synechiae may develop after healing of an endometritis. Infections related to IUD use (or the placement of any foreign object within the uterine cavity). Related Condition Gynatresia Occlusion of some part of the female genital tract, especially of the vagina. (Dorland, 28th ed) patient history What questions should we ask when obtain a patient history? Past interventional procedures When was the last surgery Describe their menstrual cycle leading since the surgery History of past miscarriages Patient Symptoms The adhesions vary in extent, causing partial on complete obliteration of the uterine cavity. mild cases no clinical symptoms normal menstruation is maintained. there may be oligomenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, infertility and abortion In more severe cases there may be atresia of the uterine cavity Symptoms of Ashermans Syndrome Asherman support group Symptoms may be related to several conditions and are more likely to indicate Asherman's syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery. Symptoms of Ashermans Syndrome Asherman support group No menstrual flow (amenorrhea) or decreased menstrual flow Infertility Recurrent miscarriages patients have hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea some have normal periods

5 Symptoms of Ashermans Syndrome Asherman support group stages of Ashermans Syndrome Some patients have feel pain at the time each month that their period would normally arrive. may indicate that menstruation is occuring but the blood cannot exit the uterus because the cervix is blocked by adhesions. I - Thin or filmy adhesions easily ruptured by hysteroscope sheath alone, cornual areas normal 25 The American Fertility Society 26 stages of Ashermans Syndrome II - Singular firm adhesions connecting separate parts of the uterine cavity visualization of both tubal ostia possible cannot be ruptured by hysteroscope sheath alone; IIa - Occluding adhesions only in the region of the internal cervical OS. Upper uterine cavity normal; stages of Ashermans Syndrome III - Multiple firm adhesions connecting separate parts of the uterine cavity unilateral obliteration of ostial areas of the tubes 27 The American Fertility Society The American Fertility Society 28 stages of Ashermans Syndrome IIIa - Extensive scarring of the uterine cavity wall with amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea IIIb - Combination of III and IIIa; stages of Ashermans Syndrome IV - Extensive firm adhesions with agglutination of the uterine walls.

6 Stage 1 - Diagnosis Stages of Asherman's Syndrome according an online community for patient information Normally done by the OBGYN when problems have occurred such as absence of menstruation abdominal pain. very light period however no success in conception Stage 1 - Diagnosis Diagnosis is usually made by HSG SHG Diagnostic hysteroscopy. Stage 2 treatment Hysteroscopic to remove adhesions. Laparascopic surgery to remove adhesions Stage 2 treatment After surgery a balloon catheter may be inserted into uterus Used to keep uterine walls from adhering together during the healing process. (5-14 days) Stage 2 - treatment Antibiotics given prevent infection. When balloon is removed a regimen of estrogen and progesterone may be prescribed

7 Stage 2 - treatment 2-3 months after post-op HSG, SIS, hysteroscopy Evaluate uterus fallopian tubes for remaining scar tissue. Subsequent surgery may be necessary. Stage 3 living with it Once healed from your surgery free of scar tissue patients may to try and conceive. It is very important that the uterus is at least 90% free of scar tissue before getting pregnant risks patients face with carrying a child are Placenta Previa Placenta Accreta Premature rupture of membranes possibly incompetent cervix.

18 What happened: the synechiae seemed to disappear Ball et al. Speculated that as the intrauterine cavity dimensions increase, the fixed adhesions snap and the membranes reapproximate to the uterine wall. Obstetric complications in pregnancies Fineberg and lazebnik et al. suggested an increase risk for malpresentation and related need for cesarean delivery in patients with uterine synechiae..., particularly when the orientation was perpendicular to the placenta.

Treatment of Ashermans Syndrome Asherman's syndrome should be treated if it is causing infertility or amenorrhea. Surgical treatment includes cutting and removing adhesions or scar tissue within the uterine cavity Jewelewicz,, R., Khalaf,, S., Neuwirth,, R.S. and Vande Wiele,, R.L.

19 Treatment of Ashermans Syndrome After surgery may place a small balloon inside the uterus for several days To prevent the walls from reattaching estrogen replacement therapy may be prescribed while the uterine lining heals. Antibiotic treatment may be necessary if infection is identified. Treatment of Ashermans Syndrome Keys to treatment include Early recognition Early treatment by a Physician experienced with the condition Conclusion women with menstrual disorders after an intervention had a strong increased risk in developing intrauterine adhesions These adhesions can result in Menstrual disturbances Infertility Recurrent abortions Knowing the right question to ask you patients can help steer the clinician in making the right diagnosis Watch for complications in all patients with a history of intrauterine adhesion removal
