Asherman's syndrome treatment in India

Adhesions range from thin filmy strands to dense bands that close much of the cavity. Severity is graded by how much of the cavity is affected and how periods have changed. Mild cases may need one procedure; severe cases often need repeated surgery.

After surgery, many specialists use oestrogen to help the lining regrow. Some place a temporary balloon or gel inside the uterus to keep the walls apart. A second-look hysteroscopy is commonly planned to clear any new adhesions early.

How this approach differs

Outcome depends mostly on how severe the scarring is and how much healthy lining remains. Repeat procedures are common in severe cases. Using scissors rather than heavy electric energy is often preferred to protect the remaining lining.

Who needs asherman's syndrome treatment

• Women with very light or absent periods after a D&C, caesarean or uterine surgery
• Women with recurrent miscarriage and adhesions on hysteroscopy
• Women with a thin lining that does not respond to medicines during IVF
• Women with infertility and filling defects on HSG or sonography

How it is done

1. Diagnosis is confirmed with hysteroscopy, sometimes after 3D ultrasound or saline sonography.
2. Under anaesthesia, the surgeon divides the adhesions with fine scissors or energy devices.
3. Ultrasound guidance may be used in severe cases to avoid perforation.
4. A balloon or barrier gel may be placed to prevent re-adhesion.
5. Oestrogen tablets or patches are often prescribed for several weeks.
6. A follow-up hysteroscopy checks the cavity after one or more cycles.

Before you travel to India

• Records of previous uterine procedures (D&C, caesarean, myomectomy)
• HSG, saline sonography or earlier hysteroscopy images
• Period history and any hormone test results
• Plan for a possible second visit for a second-look hysteroscopy
• Ask whether the follow-up hysteroscopy could be done by a gynaecologist at home

Recovery and flying home

• Day-case surgery; most women go home the same day.
• Light bleeding and cramps for a few days are normal.
• A balloon, if placed, is removed after several days.
• Continue oestrogen exactly as prescribed.
• Your specialist will advise when to try for pregnancy or embryo transfer.

Risks

• Adhesions returning, especially in severe cases
• Uterine perforation
• Infection
• Pregnancy complications later, such as abnormal placental attachment

Alternatives

• Expectant management for very mild cases without symptoms
• IVF with frozen transfer once the lining has recovered
• Gestational surrogacy only where lawful in your home country; Indian law does not allow foreign nationals to commission surrogacy
