Ashermans syndrome specialists London

[Gkb90]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any positive outcomes and experiences with any specialists for ashermans. I’ve been looking into Adrian Lower if anyone has any experience with him?

Thanks!

I was never formally told I had ashermans, but I had adhesions and scarring tissue following a surgical TFMR so basically I did! I've heard good things about Adrian Lower, he is definitely an expert, I had 3 surgical hysteroscopies to remove my adhesions and scarring tissue, first two done by Haider Jan and third by Raef Haris at the Lister whee I as doing IVF and would recommend both

@Orangewillow hi, thank you for your reply. How did you find Raef Haris he was another option I was considering too. This will be my third hysteroscopy, 2 I had abroad in Greece with my fertility clinic but felt their aftercare to help prevent them coming back wasn’t great. I also haven’t been properly diagnosed with ashermans but I am so sure it is as I have reoccurring scar tissue/adhesions and they come back fairly quickly

He was lovely, and I felt like he knew his stuff! I had hyaluronic gel applied after the hysteroscopy and took oestrogen for a month or so after to repair, although artificial oestrogen doesn't work too well for me so I'm not sure that did much, but it seemed to do the trick as I had a successful FET a couple of months after that hysteroscopy. My consultant and raef were keen I crack on with a transfer asap before the scar tissue had a chance to grow back. That was scarring rather than adhesions though, my 1st two removed those and they hadn't seemed to have come back - Adrian lower might be a good shout as he is adhesions specialist

@Orangewillow I’m completely the same with artificial estrogen, my last FET we did modified natural and I felt a lot better on it but deep down I knew it was going to fail because of the scar tissue forming again, my doctor insisted I should be good up to 6 months later but that wasn’t the case. My first hysteroscopy they said I had a lot of scar tissue which they cut and then after I fell pregnant but it ended in a mmc. I couldn’t conceive again after that, I repeated the hysteroscopy that time there were adhesions, but the gap was left too long between that and my transfer, so I honestly don’t know what to expect this time round lol

We sound like we have a fair few similarities! My 1st 2 hysteroscopies were last summer, 1st FET in February and not long before that I had a saline scan which showed some scar tissue still, but they didn't think it was problematic. However my lining really struggled to get to a decent point, with the oestrogen, and when that FET failed they recommended another hysteroscopy. For my 2nd FET I did stims to grow my follicles and natural oestrogen which worked better! But yeah after the last hysteroscopy, my Dr wanted to wait 6 weeks for that to heal up and then go again on a FET as soon as possible - it ended up being about 2.5 months between hysteroscopy and transfer

I have had three surgeries with Mr Lower for Ashermans and would 100% recommend. He is a real expert.
