Abstract
A group of 304 women operated on for ectopic regnancy were followed up with respect to subsequent re-roductive performance. The group was distributed into urrent users, earlier users and non-users of an intra-uterine ontraceptive device (IUCD). Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility were more common among non IUCD sers. Reproductive performance was statistically signifi-antly better in ever-users of an IUCD than in never-users, ‘he proportions of women wishing to become pregnant and’ ho later gave birth to a live baby in the three groups were 9.2%, 61.4% and 38.0% respectively.
