I - Thin or filmy adhesions easily ruptured by hysteroscope sheath alone, cornual areas normal;
II - Singular firm adhesions connecting separate parts of the uterine cavity, visualization of both tubal ostia possible, cannot be ruptured by hysteroscope sheath alone;
IIa - Occluding adhesions only in the region of the internal cervical OS. Upper uterine cavity normal;
III - Multiple firm adhesions connecting separate parts of the uterine cavity, unilateral obliteration of ostial areas of the tubes;
IIIa - Extensive scarring of the uterine cavity wall with amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea;
IIIb - Combination of III and IIIa;
IV - Extensive firm adhesions with agglutination of the uterine walls. Both tubal ostial areas occluded
Mild- Filmy adhesions composed of basal endometrium producing partial or complete uterine cavity occlusion;
Moderate - Fibromuscular adhesions that are characteristically thick, still covered by endometrium that may bleed on division, partially or totally occluding the uterine cavity;
Severe - Composed of connective tissue with no endometrial lining and likely to bleed upon division, partially or totally occluding the uterine cavity.
I - Central adhesions
a) thin filmy adhesions (endometrial adhesions)
b) myofibrous (connective adhesions)
II - Marginal adhesions (always myofibrous or connective)
a) wedge like projection
b) obliteration of one horn
III - Uterine cavity absent on HSG
a) occlusion of the internal os (upper cavity normal)
b) extensive agglutination of uterine walls (absence of uterine cavity - true Asherman's)
