Questions to ask your doctor

  1. Are you considering Asherman’s syndrome? Why or why not? 
  2. What else could be causing my infertility and/or symptoms? 
  3. Which tests will you run and what will they tell us?

If your doctor is not considering Asherman’s, tell him/her why you think you might have Asherman’s, e.g. history of uterine surgery followed by a reduced or stopped period. (You can always refer to the information on our website as you talk to your doctor.)

  1. Have you treated Asherman’s before?
  2. Have you treated cases like mine? As severe? Did these women go on to have successful pregnancies?
  3. Could you please explain to me which procedures you will use for diagnosis and treatment?
  4. If you find extensive scarring in my uterus, how confident are you that you could remove it? For treatment, would you recommend seeing a specialist with more Asherman’s experience?
  1. Could you please explain to me which procedures you will use for your diagnosis?

  3. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my diagnostic test (hysteroscopy, HSG, SHG)?
  4. If you find extensive scarring in my uterus, how confident are you that you could remove it? For treatment, would you recommend seeing a specialist with more Asherman’s experience?

Surgery questions

(Make sure you are comfortable with these answers. These questions will help you determine if you want to see another doctor / an Asherman’s specialist.)
