Contraception for women exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol.
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.
