Menstrual patterns and progesterone circulating levels following different procedures of tubal occlusion.
Contraception 1989 August
This study was undertaken to assess the effects of different tubal occlusion procedures on ovarian function. Three groups of subjects randomized to tubal occlusion by laparoscopy and Yoon ring (24 subjects), minilaparotomy and Yoon ring (19 subjects) and minilaparotomy and Pomeroy (22 subjects), and one separate control group of 26 healthy subjects not using any form of contraception were studied in a prospective design. The characteristics of the menstrual patterns were studied for one year after sterilization. Determination of the circulating progesterone levels were made on days 15, 20 and 25 of menstrual cycles initiated 1, 3, 6 and 12 months following the tubal ligation. In the analysis of the bleeding pattern there was a statistically significant difference in the mean segment length and in the longest bleeding-free interval in the subjects who had been sterilized by minilaparotomy with Yoon ring, when compared to the other two study groups and to the control group. However, the magnitude of this difference in number of days was not considered clinically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of ovulatory cycles within the study and the control groups, or when the results of the study groups were compared with each other or to the control group.
