Operative hysteroscopy should be repeated as many times as necessary for the treatment of refractory Asherman syndrome versus is there any alternative therapy worth considering?

Asherman syndrome (AS) is an acquired condition defined by the presence of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) that result when the bona fide endometrium is replaced by fibrotic tissues. IUAs provoke symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities, pelvic pain, recurrent miscarriage, infertility, abnormal placentation, and attendant psychological distress (1). The destruction of healthy endometrium arises from multiple factors that affect the endometrial stem cell niche and create IUAs. The most common is curettage of the pregnant uterus after delivery of miscarriage.
