Glued from the Inside: The Truth About Asherman's Syndrome

Send us a text

What if your uterus looked normal on the outside—but inside, it was glued shut? In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the rarely discussed but deeply impactful condition known as Asherman's Syndrome. From why some women are more likely to develop intrauterine adhesions (think “keloid-level healing”) to how it affects menstruation and fertility, you’ll learn everything you need to know.

We cover:

• What causes Asherman's Syndrome and who's at risk
• How to know if you have it (hint: it's often missed!)
• The difference between mild “cobweb” scarring and complete uterine cavity obliteration
• The gold-standard treatments, including hysteroscopic surgery, estrogen therapy, and balloon/IUD separation
• Emerging therapies like stem cells, PRP, and amniotic grafts
• Fertility options beyond surrogacy—including IVF and uterine transplant
• The emotional toll of Asherman’s and why psychological support matters

Whether you’re a patient, a partner, or a medical provider, this is the Asherman’s deep dive you didn’t know you needed. Don’t miss it.
