Postabortal amenorrhea due to cervical stenosis.

In the differential diagnosis of postabortal amenorrhea, the entity of cervical agglutination-stenosis without uterine synechiae should be included. Nine such cases are reported with discussion of its possible etiology, diagnosis, and management. Other clinics are urged to report this complication of first trimester abortion.

Safety of postabortion sterilisation compared with interval sterilisation. A controlled study.

406 women--about one-fifth of those requesting an induced abortion and sterilisation over a thirty-three-month period--volunteered to be allocated randomly to either a concurrent induced-abortion/sterilisation group or a group which was sterilised six weeks after abortion. The abortion-attributable and sterilisation-attributable complication rates of 3.8% and 5.2%, respectively, for the concurrent group did not differ significantly from the 6.7% and 6.9% rates for the interval group. The estimated 2%-10% of women who would have changed their minds must be set against the 4% of women who became pregnant again before being sterilised. Efforts should be made to identify women likely to regret sterilisation.

Postabortal pelvic sepsis in association with Chlamydia trachomatis.

Cervical swabs for Chlamydia trachomatis culture were taken from 527 women presenting for elective termination of pregnancy. Twenty-six patients (4.9%) harboured C. trachomatis; 21 (81%) of these were less than 25-years-old and 21 (81%) were nulliparas. Postoperative pelvic sepsis developed in 11.5% of chlamydia-positive women, in contrast to 3.6% of chlamydia-negative women. Consequently it is suggested that all patients, especially those younger than 25 years, presenting for termination of pregnancy or in whom an intrauterine device is to be inserted should be screened and have treatment commenced for C. trachomatis prior to the operative procedure.
