Overview

The strongest risk factors for developing Asherman Syndrome is previous obstetric curettage procedures and infections.

Risk Factors

The risk of Asherman's increases with the number of procedures: one study estimated the risk to be 16% after one D&C and 32% after 3 or more D&Cs [1]. Other risk factors may include

Women may be predisposed to intrauterine adhesions if they are of increased age, poor nutritional status during pregnancy, and have experienced intrauterine or genital infectious processes. However, such factors are not supported in the literature, where the dominant factor seems to be surgical trauma (frequent hysteroscopic surgery, repeat curettages and infection).[2]
