Asherman's symptom complex

Asherman symptom complex is a pathological condition characterized by obliteration (fusion) of the uterine cavity as a result of damage to its mucous membrane with subsequent scarring.

This syndrome was first described in 1948 by Israeli gynecologist Joseph Asherman, after whom it received its name.

The reasons for the development of Asherman syndrome can be different:

1. Inflammatory diseases of the uterus
2. Mechanical damage to the uterine mucosa (after curettage, hysteroscopy)
3. Radiation exposure

The main symptoms of Asherman syndrome:

1. Menstrual irregularities (amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea)
2. Infertility
3. Miscarriage
4. Pain syndrome

Diagnosis is based on medical history, gynecological examination and the results of hysterosalpingography or hysteroscopy.

Treatment consists of restoring the normal anatomy of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopic dissection of the synechiae. The prognosis depends on the extent of the adhesions and the results of surgical treatment.

Asherman's symptom complex (ACS) is a medical term that describes a group of symptoms associated with a female genital tract infection. It was named after physician James Asherman, who described it in the 1920s. This complex includes various complaints such as abdominal pain, spotting and infertility, and is often associated with a chronic inflammatory process. In this article we will look in more detail at the Asherman syndrome complex and its medical significance.

Asherman symptoms are a group of symptoms that a woman experiences in connection with inflammatory processes of the female genital organs, mainly caused by vaginitis bacteria. These symptoms may include: - vaginal bleeding; - unpleasant sensations that occur during sexual intercourse; - pelvic pain that occurs during menstruation, heavy discharge, decreased duration, spotting; - menstrual irregularities; - inability to get pregnant; - increased body temperature (usually to subfebrile levels). In addition, a number of authors highlight the presence of small bubbles on the surface of the vaginal mucosa in the diagnosis of this group of symptoms. However, there is no data for their existence or clinical value, so it is considered. That they are not a mandatory sign for diagnosing the Asherman complex. Although ACS is usually considered a symptom, some experts believe that it is a serious condition that can lead to serious consequences, including infertility and other health problems. However, it is important to note that not all women who have ACS have serious health problems, and that treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life
