title: [Fertility after removal of intra-uterine device (author's transl)].
abstract: A survey of cases was made in the context of an outpatient family planning scheme. Intra-uterine devices were removed from 874 women who had expressed interest in another pregnancy. The group of probands, in that context, comprised 701 women. The majority of the above probands turned pregnant in the first month from IUD removal. Ectopic pregnancies were recorded from two women only. Hysterosalpingography had to be applied to 22 women for secondary sterility. Seven of these turned pregnant. Ovulation was induced in eight of them, with good success in six cases. Abortion occurred to eight women, and another 23 had to be hospitalised for imminent abortion. The birth total was 741. The authors feel that an IUD has no lasting effect on fertility and that the latter will be restored immediately after IUD removal.
