Asherman's Syndrome

Hello,

I am looking for some information about Asherman's Syndrome.

I was recently diagnosed with the condition. After the hysterosalpingogram, I was told that the scarring was severe. The area of dye in my uterus was less than one square inch and my fallopian tubes are completely blocked.

I would like to have another pregnancy, but I was wondering what the chances are of a successful pregnancy? I have been pregnant four times now, a theraputic abortion in 10-93, a blighted ovum in 11-94, twins at 22 weeks because of an incompetent cervix in 4-97 and finally in 4-98, a healthy 10 pound baby girl! I lost 2500mL of blood after her birth and an artery was tied off, so the excessive scarring really is not a suprise.

In addition, I can not dissolve the material used in dissolving stitches. Is this the same material that is used in the uterus to prevent scarring after the adhesions are removed? If so, are there any alternative to using that?

Also is a laproscopy necessary to further diagnos Asherman's Syndrom? Or is this how the removal of the adhesions would be performed? Does it require general anestaesia? (sorry about the spelling) Will I need to stay overnight in the hospital?

Thanks for taking the time to read this andd answer my questions.
