In the extreme, the whole cavity can be scarred and occluded.
Studies have also shown that a lot of women have severe adhesions between the niche and the bladder. [7] Adhesions are connective tissue caused by surgery in this case because of the cesarean section. [8] The theory would be that the adhesions pull on the wall of the uterus causing it to be lifted upwards a little bit therefore causing a niche.
To prevent adhesions from forming after caesarean section, adhesion barrier can be placed during surgery to minimize the risk of adhesions between the uterus and ovaries, the small bowel, and almost any tissue in the abdomen or pelvis. This is not current UK practice, as there is no compelling evidence to support the benefit of this intervention.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) present in Asherman's syndrome can cause ectopic cervical pregnancy or, if adhesions partially block access to the tubes via the ostia, ectopic tubal pregnancy. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] [ 28 ] Asherman's syndrome usually occurs from intrauterine surgery, most commonly after D&C . [ 26 ]
