      &lt;p&gt;Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate menstrual and reproductive outcome in patients diagnosed with Asherman&amp;rsquo;s syndrome on hysteroscopy and to assess the role of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.&lt;br /&gt;
Methods: A prospective study was performed for patients having intrauterine adhesion at a tertiary care teaching hospital, Indore, India for a period of 2 years. Findings at hysteroscopy, details of adhesiolysis, changes in menstrual pattern following adhesiolysis, need for repeat procedure and fertility outcome were prospectively collected. Data was analysed using SPSS software. A p-value of &amp;lt;0.05 was considered significant.&lt;br /&gt;
Results: A total of 60 patients with a mean age of 30.1&amp;plusmn;5.5 years with Asherman&amp;rsquo;s syndrome were included. In 53.3% of them, no factors like post-partum curettage, uterine surgery or history of tuberculosis could be found in which the present intrauterine adhesions could be attributed to. Hypomenorrhoea was the most common (53.3%) menstrual pattern in patients diagnosed with Asherman&amp;rsquo;s syndrome. Thirty eight out of 60 (63.33%) required second look hysteroscopy. There was a significant change in endometrial lining and echo pattern after adhesiolysis (p&amp;lt;0.05). 45% of patients started having normal menstrual flow after adhesiolysis which was statistically significant. A total of 16 conceptions and 10 live births were reported in the present cohort. Pregnancy rate was higher in patients having mild Asherman&amp;rsquo;s syndrome (53.3%) as compared to moderate (26.9%) or severe type (9.5%), (p=0.0049). It was also higher in patients having normal endometrial pattern after adhesiolysis (p=0.0005).&lt;br /&gt;
Conclusion: Women who underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis showed significant improvement in the menstrual pattern. Pregnancy rates were improved after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.&lt;/p&gt;
