In patients with IFI, IFS narrowing has been reported as bilateral in 25-40%, consistent with a congenital etiology. 3,7 A strong female predominance (84 – 100% of patients) is observed. 3,7 This is likely due to the female pelvis having greater width [radsource.us]
It is important to note that it does not have definite etiological implications, and there is no evidence to support equating the presence of this syndrome with a diagnosis of pudendal nerve entrapment although that may be 1 etiological condition. – Stav [treningogrehab.no]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology The lack of consistent diagnostic criteria could explain small number of epidemiological studies regarding prevalence of PS in PD patients. [dovepress.com]
Thus, further studies of a clinical and epidemiological nature should be performed to identify changes in constipation in subjects with MPS. [scielo.br]
The condition is frequently underdiagnosed leading to controversies regarding its epidemiology and to an intense debate in the literature. [treningogrehab.no]
