Who gets Asherman’s syndrome?

Asherman’s syndrome is an acquired condition, which means that something usually happens that causes you to develop scar tissue. You can acquire Asherman’s syndrome in several ways, including surgery, infections and cancer treatments.

Your risk of developing Asherman’s syndrome can increase if you’ve:

• Had surgery on your uterus in the past, including operative hysteroscopy, complicated dilation and curettage (D&C) or cesarean section (c-section).
• Had a history of pelvic infections.
• Been treated for cancer.
