Overview
Complications
Depending on the degree of severity, Asherman's syndrome may result in infertility, repeated miscarriages, pain from trapped blood, and high risk pregnancies [1](see Prognoses below). There is evidence that left untreated, the obstruction of menstrual flow resulting from scarring can lead to endometriosis[2].
