Cervical pathology with intrauterine cohtraceptive devices-a cyto-colpo-pathological study

Abstract One-hundred Lippes loop and 100 Cu T-200 intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) users, for more than one year, and 200 control non-users were examined clinically, cytologically, colposcopically and histopathologically for associated cervical pathological lesions. Nonspecific infection increased significantly in both Lippes loop and Cu T-200 IUCD users, compared to non-users ( P P > 0.05). Colposcopically, there was a significant increase in inflammatory changes with both Lippes loop and Cu T-200 IUCD, compared to controls ( P P > 0.05).
