[Prevention of sterility].

An overview is given about possibly preventable causes of infertility. The best chances for prevention are in tubal sterility and ectopic pregnancy. Methods of "primary prevention" are reduction of STD by health education and epidemiologic actions, by reduction and improvement of intrauterine operations in young women. The most important methods in "secondary prevention" are early and optimal treatment of PID and organ preservation in ectopic pregnancy. The difficulties in prophylaxis of endocrine infertility are discussed. For prevention of male infertility some procedures are necessary: Prevention resp. optimal treatment of genital infections, early treatment of development disorders and varicocele and elimination of chemical and physical noxes on male fertility.

The prevention of sexually transmitted diseases which affect fertility: methodological problems and initial results.

Sexually transmitted diseases and their consequences for fertility are currently a major preoccupation in public health. A joint research project is being carried out in France to develop an STD prevention program and then to implement it experimentally to evaluate its efficiency. It includes 2 phases: a feasibility phase, currently concluded, and an active phase, a community randomized trial. The aim of the feasibility phase was to test the research methods and tools and to act as a basis for the design of the prevention program. It measured the incidence of discharge (men and women) at a one-year interval and patient characteristics. Participating physicians were GPs in a French administrative department near Paris. Between the two measurements, information and sensitization actions were carried out in the same department among health professionals and the general public. The results show that the incidence of discharge (chosen here as indicators of STDs) in daily general medical practice is low, of the order of 6 cases per 1000 consultations. The community randomized trial will now be conducted in 6 French administrative departments, randomly divided into 3 treated departments, benefiting from a prevention campaign, and 3 controls, where no actions will be undertaken, and its results will be used in a national STD prevention campaign.

Infertility treatment and multiple birth rates in Britain, 1938-94.

Trends in multiple birth rates are thought to have been substantially affected by subfertility treatments in the last 25 years, but there are few quantitative assessments of this. This paper examines trends in twin and higher multiple birth rates separately in Scotland, England and Wales and compares their course with corresponding multiple birth rates in the Oxford Record Linkage Study area, where the proportions following subfertility treatment are documented. National data on prescriptions for subfertility treatments reinforce the view that they have had a major effect on the trends, and currently perhaps 60% of triplet and higher order births and 15% of twins follow their use in Britain.
