How long does operative hysteroscopy take to work for Asherman syndrome?

During operative hysteroscopy, a specialist passes a camera and instruments through the cervix to divide or remove adhesions inside the uterus. The uterine lining then needs time to heal. Your period may not change immediately, and the result depends on how extensive the adhesions were and whether they return. Your clinician may recommend medication, a temporary device, or a planned cavity check to support healing and assess the uterine space.

Follow instructions about activity, bathing, sex, medicines, and follow-up. Track bleeding, pain, temperature, and the return of your period. Keep the planned review even if symptoms improve, because the uterine cavity may need reassessment. Ask when it is safe to try for pregnancy if that is your goal.

Contact the surgical team for increasing pain, heavy bleeding, fever, offensive discharge, dizziness, or feeling unwell after the procedure. Seek urgent help for severe pain, fainting, heavy bleeding, or breathing difficulty. These symptoms can signal a complication and should not be managed by waiting for the next follow-up.

Ask how extensive the adhesions were, what aftercare is planned, when the cavity will be checked, when periods may change, and when pregnancy attempts can safely resume.
