There are no overt symptoms of Asherman’s syndrome. Signs of Asherman’s syndrome include amenorrhea and repeated miscarriages.

• The adhesions in the uterine cavity may cause:
  • amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods)
  • Dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods)
  • repeated miscarriages
  • infertility.

However, such symptoms could be related to several conditions. They are more likely to indicate Asherman syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery.
