Asherman’s Syndrome

Asherman’s Syndrome is a condition in which there is formation of scar tissue (called ‘adhesions’) inside the uterus, obliterating the endometrial cavity partially or completely and preventing normal menstrual periods. The normal anatomy of the uterus consists of two thick muscular walls (the anterior uterine wall and the posterior uterine wall) enclosing a cavity called the endometrial cavity. The tissue lining of this cavity is called the ‘endometrium’.

The main function of the endometrium is to grow a baby nest . . . and change in structure sufficiently during each menstrual cycle, so that a fertilized ovum can implant in it, allowing a pregnancy to develop. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining (endometrium) degenerates and sloughs off during the menstrual period.

If there are adhesions inside the uterus, the endometrium is damaged leading to the inability to grow a lining and thus a baby. This shows up as changes to the cycle .. secondary amenorrhea (no or very scanty periods).

This can occur in any women of any age who have undergone trauma – usually an intra-uterine procedure as an abortion, D&C or childbirth. It is most common after a D&C is performed on a recently pregnant uterus.

Asherman’s Syndrome – adhesions within the uterus – non medical means

Usually adhesions are corrected by dissolving them.

1 – Using organic castor oil – within the vagina cavity, as a pack – on the belly and the sacrum, as well as inserting up the anus – as it is a short space to your womb.

2 – More unusually – Chinese herbs (anal) – they instantly get to work.

3 – Using perieneal steaming and

4 – Taking oral Chinese/East Asian herbs that assist break up what is not supposed to be there.

Grades of Asherman’s syndrome

Depending on the extent and thickness of the adhesions, Asherman’s Syndrome is mild, moderate or severe.

Mild Asherman’s Syndrome: Adhesions are thin and flimsy. They can be easily torn with a thin instrument like an uterine sound or a hysteroscope. The inside of the womb (endometrial cavity) may be partially or totally covered by adhesions, but the endometrium itself is not damaged greatly.
Moderate Asherman’s Syndrome: The adhesions in this grade are thicker with strands of muscular tissue mixed with the fibrous tissue. The endometrial cavity may be partly or completely affected. The adhesions cannot be broken easily and may bleed during the procedure.
Severe Asherman’s Syndrome: The adhesions are thick, and there is extensive damage of the endometrium. The uterine walls stick together, completely obliterating the endometrial cavity.

What to do . .

Reach out for help – as regardless of finding a great surgeon skilled in undoing this – or not – there is natural healing. Likely it will need assistance – and may not start by itself.

In Chinese /Eatr Asian medicine – the term ‘Stuck Blood (CLICK)’ applies. I always work with the notion that the body made this – it can undo it – returning all to normal. Other therapists may not. They may consistently suggest that the body needs their help – even though in their model/paradigm, often they have no idea why there may be ‘spontaneous /miraculous healing or why things turn out wrong – as there is less understanding of how a body works and heals itself – than you would imagine.
