Asherman's Syndrome is a cause of female infertility. It is the formation of scar tissue in the uterus. It is usually caused by surgery (dilation and curettage for abortions) or by infections (pelvic inflammatory disease).
Asherman's Syndrome may be the cause of infertility in women who have regular normal periods and whose fallopian tubes are not blocked.
A basic pelvic ultrasound will not detect Asherman's Syndrome. Diagnosis is usually by a special x ray (hysterosalpingogram) or by a special ultrasound (sonosalpingogram) or by a minor surgical procedure (hysteroscopy).
