Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
The condition is estimated to affect 1.5% of women undergoing HSG [1], between 5 and 39% of women with recurrent miscarriage [2][3][4] and up to 40% of patients who have undergone D&C for retained products of conception [5]. The true prevalence of Asherman’s syndrome is unclear as many doctors are unaware of the symptoms or diagnosis. Increased awareness about the condition and its diagnosis is also expected to reveal a higher frequency than previously reported.
