Cytohormonal assessment of ovarian function following tubal ligation.

One hundred fifty postligation and 54 random cases matched for age and parity were studied. Vaginal cytologic samples and endometrial histologic samples were used for cytohormonal assessment of ovarian function. There was no indication of ovarian insufficiency following tubal ligation. The menstrual cycles were ovulatory. Menstrual disturbances were seen in 40.6% of the cases following tubal ligation. Cytohormonal comparison of these cases with that of dysfunctional uterine bleeding cases (who did not undergo tubal ligation) showed either similar or high maturation value. This may be due either to psychological stimulation or to low-grade infection following tubal ligation. There was complete cytomorphologic correlation.
