  • Title: [Physical properties and PGE2 and PGF2 alpha content of cervical mucus in women wearing IUD compared to those not wearing IUD].
    Author: Yao J, Zhou SW.
    Journal: Shengzhi Yu Biyun; 1984 May; 4(2):51-3. PubMed ID: 12313204.
    Abstract:
    In order to study the local changes resulting from wearing and IUD, the authors examined the cervicalmucus in 35 cases of women wearing IUDs for 10 months and 32 women of the same age who were not using contraception. Cervical mucus was taken during the ovulatory stage, days 10-14 of the menstrual cycle. The mean weight of midcycle cervical mucus in women wearing IUDs was 275.43 +or- 167.10 mg as compared with that of the controls 226.56 +or- 150.22 mg (P0.2). The clarity, viscosity, spinnbarkeit, and crystallization of the cervical mucus showed no difference in the 2 groups. Radioimmunoassay showed prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the cervical mucus of IUD wearing women to be 44.995 +or- 22.06 pg/mg, and that of the control group as 39.115 +or- 27.32 pg/mg (P0.2). PGF2alpha was 66.34 +or- 42.42 pg/mg in the cervical mucus of IUD wearing women, and 73.152 +or- 52.56 pg/mg (P0.5) in the control group. The cervical mucus in the midcycle of IUD wearing women showed little difference from that of the control group both in physical properties and PGE2 and PGF2alpha contents. (author's mofidifed)
