Asherman syndrome

The origin of infertility can also be a endometritis post-infection and inflammation of the uterine cavity, which causes the formation of adhesions in this area and is known as "Asherman syndrome."

Detection.
The scanning method that is used is hysteroscopy, which allows you to view the inside of the uterus using a lens. Also radiography of the uterus (histerografía) is of great diagnostic utility.

Treatment.
To free up adhesions, used special scissors that are passed through hysteroscopy. In serious cases are advised to place an intrauterine device (IUD) and temporarily administer by estrogen tablets or patches.
