[Study of the endometrium following voluntary interruption of pregnancy in relation to the contraceptive method used following abortion].
A study of endometrial biopsies that was carried out around the 21st day after abortions in 424 patients who had had therapeutic terminations showed the effects of giving a sequential type of oral contraceptive immediately after the abortion had been carried out. This did not increase the rate of regeneration nor the proliferation of the endometrium and did not alter the local inflammatory reactions. It did, however, make it more difficult to eliminate decidua that had been retained as well as trophoblastic and villous structures and made it more likely that the classical appearance of the endometrium following pregnancy would be maintained.
