What is the “usual” treatment to repair Ashermans Syndrome?
Treatment methods do vary from doctor to doctor, but the most common course of treatment is an operative hysteroscopy using microscissors to remove the adhesions, followed by a uterine balloon which is traditionally left in-place for 7-10 days after surgery. Another well-respected method is to skip using the balloon and instead have frequent office hysteroscopies in which any tiny adhesions that reform are snipped with the microscissors in the doctor’s office. Surgery is normally followed by a course of antibiotics, (especially when a uterine balloon is used which carries with it a slight chance of infection), as well as a course of estrogen followed by progesterone. My doctor has suggested that we perform a D&C to try and repair my Asherman’s but isn’t that was caused this in the first place? Unfortunately, there are still some poorly trained doctors that believe that the proper treatment for Asherman’s is another D&C. We now know that this is the WORST possible treatment for Asherman
