The International Asherman's Association is an organization dedicated to bringing awareness of Asherman's Syndrome to others. Their focus is on information and support for those suffering from this condition, which is a cause for infertility that is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. As a side note, I owe this organization so much. Without the support and knowledge I gained, we may never have had a second child. She was definitely worth the wait.
Here are five facts you may now know about the International Asherman's Association and Asherman's Syndrome:
- Asherman's Syndrome can cause infertility and miscarriages. There are symptoms and Asherman's is treatable. http://www.ashermans.org/information/symptoms-and-causes/
- Stories of those afflicted with Asherman's Syndrome are shared in multiple languages: English, Serbian, Croatian, Farsi, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian, Finnish, Indonesian, Arabic, Lithuanian, and Icelandic
- The mission of the organization addresses preservation of women's fertility, prevention of interuterine adhesions, and support/education for those struggling with infertility and miscarriages.
- They have a closed group on Facebook where women can ask each other questions, share advice, and photos of post-Asherman babies (success stories). https://www.facebook.com/groups/92888865008/
- Women in this organization have created a list of A-list doctors across the world, one of which appears in the photograph on this page, being presented an award by a child who would not be here without his care. http://www.ashermans.org/about-us/our-work/
