Hi Jen, welcome here, below you will find my answers to your

questions:

I am curious as to why Asherman's seems to occur most often due to

this reason as opposed to d & c's performed for other reasons.

Does it occur in other cases? (i.e. missed abortions)?

YES, it does occur in other cases, most women with retained placenta

though have two or more d & c´s and the likeliness of AS rises

enormously with each d & c post partum. But one aggressive d & c for

another reason or even an aggressive myomectomy is also enough for

AS.

I was also wondering if in cases where the

Asherman's syndrome is

mild to moderate, can one still conceive and carry a baby to full

term?

YES, YES, YES!!! Even with a severe case, you can go on to carry a child

full term, but it means that you then need a very good surgeon and a good

recovery of your endometrium after surgery.

I had a moderate to severe case (one third of the cavity left)

Also- does Asherman's need to be

treated? If a woman decides that

she does not want any more children, does she still need to see a

doctor about this? Even in severe cases where there is no

menstration?

You only need to have a surgery to open your cavity a little bit IN CASE

you are in pain every month, when your period blood flows back through

the abdomen.

If you do not experience any pain, then you can leave it.
