Asherman's Syndrome may occur in up to 13% of women undergoing a termination of pregnancy during the first trimester, and 30% in women undergoing a [[Dilation and curettage (patient information)|dilation and curettage]] (D&C) after a late '''spontaneous''' abortion. Structural placental abnormalities and previous procedures done in the uterus increase the risk.<br />

Women with placental abnormalities (e.g., placenta increta) may have a higher risk of developing Asherman syndrome as the placenta adheres to deeper layers within the uterus and becomes more difficult to remove. The incidence may be as high as 23.4% in patients undergoing procedures two to four weeks after the initial procedure for a vaginal delivery or missed abortion. The risk increases for patients undergoing repeated procedures for bleeding or repeated elective termination of pregnancies.

Overview

Asherman's Syndrome may occur in up to 13% of women undergoing a termination of pregnancy during the first trimester, and 30% in women undergoing a dilation and curettage (D&C) after a late spontaneous abortion. Structural placental abnormalities and previous procedures done in the uterus increase the risk.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The true prevalence of Asherman’s syndrome is unclear. The condition is estimated to affect 1.5% of women undergoing HSG [1], between 5 and 39% of women with recurrent miscarriage [2][3][4] and up to 40% of patients who have undergone D&C for retained products of conception [5]. It may occur in up to 13% of women undergoing a termination of pregnancy during the first trimester, and 30% in women undergoing a dilation and curettage (D and C) after a late spontaneous abortion.

Women with placental abnormalities (e.g., placenta increta) may have a higher risk of developing Asherman syndrome as the placenta adheres to deeper layers within the uterus and becomes more difficult to remove. The incidence may be as high as 23.4% in patients undergoing procedures two to four weeks after the initial procedure for a vaginal delivery or missed abortion. The risk increases for patients undergoing repeated procedures for bleeding or repeated elective termination of pregnancies.

It is found in 1.5% of women evaluated with a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) for infertility, between 5 and 39% of women with recurrent miscarriage. Asherman’s Syndrome may occur in 31% of women after the initial hysteroscopic resection of leiomyoma, and up to 46% after the second hysteroscopic resection.[6][7]
