title: Contraception for women exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol.
abstract: Although the effects of in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) have been extensively documented, there is an absence of information on the suitability of different contraceptives for use by DES-exposed women. This paper briefly describes some of the effects associated with DES exposure. Use of various contraceptive methods by DES-exposed women are considered in light of these effects.
