Menstrual pattern changes following minilap/Pomeroy, minilap/ring and laparoscopy/ring sterilization: a review of 5982 cases. 1984

P P Bhiwandiwala, and S D Mumford, and P J Feldblum

Menstrual pattern changes experienced by 5982 women subsequent to sterilization by the techniques of minilap/Pomeroy, minilap/tubal ring and laparoscopy/tubal ring were tabulated. Controlling for prior contraceptive use, we examined data on the following six menstrual parameters at the time of sterilization compared to reports at follow-up visits 6 and 12 months after surgery: cycle regularity, cycle length, menstrual flow duration, amount of flow, dysmenorrhea and intermenstrual bleeding. Our findings suggest that minilap sterilization does not cause menstrual pattern changes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.
