[Clinical, bacteriological and histological studies following several years of IUD use for contraception].
It is informed about clinical, bacteriological and histological examinations of 108 women who had used IUD's for 2 years. The examinations were carried out on the IUD and on the endometrium. We made use of the transcervical technic of taking out under sterile conditions. Pathological findings could only be fixed amongst 4 women in clinical view. In bacteriological view numerous germs of quite different kind were found at the same patient. Optional pathological germs as they also exist in the cervix were predominant. Of an infection was only spoken if in correspondence of the total material the same germ was found. This concerned only in 6% of the women. Histologically adequate findings resulted. Genuine inflammations were only considered in 6% of the examinated female patients.
