Abstract

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an uncommon cause of infertility in females characterized by hypoestrogenism. Studies have shown that uterine artery embolization (UAE) is associated with POI. Meanwhile, Asherman syndrome (AS) is a rare condition because of intracervical or intrauterine adhesions, which can happen after dilation and curettage. Both these syndromes are causes of amenorrhea and infertility. This case is of a 40-year-old woman who, after cesarean scar pregnancy and subsequent UAE because of uncontrollable vaginal bleeding, developed premature ovarian failure and AS. She underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. She became pregnant with low anti-Müllerian hormone levels. Initial adhesiolysis and intervention in AS can restore uterine endometrium's ability to host a fetus. Moreover, UAE can cause POI, which might regress to some degree.
