Abstract

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of uterine synechiae among infertile females in our setting. This was a retrospective review of 250 patients who underwent hysterosalpingography using 76% Urografin as part of infertility work-ups at the University of Teaching Hospital between January 1996 and December 2000. Those with uterine synechiae were closely evaluated. The incidence of uterine synechiae was 34 (13.6%). The peak incidence was in the age group 30 – 34 years. Uterine synechiae were less common at the extremes of reproductive years. The prevalence of uterine synechiae is high in our environment and will tend to increase due to promiscuity and criminal abortions by unqualified personnel.
