title: Effect of IUCD on human uterine fluid protein concentration throughout the menstrual cycle.
abstract: Uterine fluid of 96 Women implanted with IUCD was collected and processed for protein estimation. The results obtained in women having IUCD were compared with those of parous/normal women. The trend of fluctuation in protein concentration was the same in both parous and women with IUCD. But comparatively the protein concentration in it was so much higher in women having IUCD throughout the menstrual cycle. The increased concentration may be responsible for making the fluid environment unfavourable for blastocyst as well as sperm metabolism.
