Who should I see for treatment of my Ashermans? Should I continue to see my current OB or Reproductive Endocrinologist?
There are certainly some general practice obstetricians and some reproductive endocrinologist who may be qualified to handle mild cases of Asherman’s. For those with moderate to severe scarring, however, it is recommended that they see a surgeon that specializes in Asherman’s Syndrome. Asherman’s surgery is a VERY delicate and difficult surgery and even surgeons who have experience in other types of uterine surgery may not have the requisite skill or experience level to treat Asherman’s successfully. Many of us in the group have made the mistake of being “loyal” to our original doctors who assured us they could help and in the end have actually ended-up making things worse. A poor Asherman’s surgery has the terrible potential of actually making your condition worse (see question #11 for more information on this) which is why it is SO VITALLY important. The first restorative surgery is the best chance to restore the uterus and should be done by the most experienced doctor possible. What
