  • Title: Histologic and microbiologic findings in the fallopian tubes of IUD users.
    Author: Vanlancker M, Dierick AM, Thiery M, Claeys G.
    Journal: Adv Contracept; 1987 Jun; 3(2):147-57. PubMed ID: 3630824.
    Abstract:
    Non-microbial inflammatory changes are more frequent in the oviducts of IUD users than in those of former users and never users. No correlation was found between the incidence of non-microbial tubal inflammation and the interval between IUD use and tubal sterilization, pelvic inflammation and surgery, and parity. Inflammatory response was more common among women using copper devices than among those wearing a non-copper IUD.
