Abstract
The endosalpinx was examnied in 28 healthy non-pregnant women, 12 of whom had an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) and in 16 of whom had neither an IUCD nor used oral contraceptives. Measurements made on light- and scanning electron micrographs showed that the percentage area covered by ciliated cells was .apprx. 40% in non-IUCD users and only 20% in IUCD users.Keywords
