S A Wahab, and S Altaieb, and A Senity, and A Saleh, and E Sakr, and A K Hamly, and M Hegab

The effect of the Copper T intrauterine device (IUD) insertion on vaginal and cervical flora was studied in thirty cases. The vaginal and cervical cultures showed a significant increase (P less than 0.01) in some of the anaerobic bacteria. Some of the aerobic organisms showed a statistically significant increase in the cervical cultures (P less than 0.01). Strict asepsis during insertion of the device is recommended.
