Abstract
The findings associated with diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure in utero are expanding rapidly. Structural abnormalities in both the cervix and uterus are well documented; indications of an abnormal healing response in these women were noted. Locally destructive methods such as cryosurgery, cauterization and excision have resulted in permanent and significant physical damage. Caution is advised in attempting even minor gynecologic procedures on DES-exposed offspring.
