The uterus may acquire scars that make the walls dense and sticky. This condition is also referred to as intrauterine adhesions or Asherman’s syndrome.

The uterus is naturally shaped like a balloon, with its front and back lining against each other. The superficial layer of this lining is shed every cycle of menstruation. It is also on the walls of this lining that the embryo implants when a woman becomes pregnant.
