[Endo-cervical aspiration, vaginal cytology and bacterioscopic observation in CU-improved IUD carriers]. / Aspirazione endocervicale, citologia vaginale e rilievi batterioscopici nelle portatrici di IUD potenziato al rame.

PIP: After examining 146 copper-improved IUD users and comparing the vaginal bacterioscopic reports and the appearance of the cytological drawings obtained either traditionally or by endocervical aspiration with those from a test-group, the authors found nonappreciable differences, except for a more marked incidence of mycosis (11% against 7%) and 3 cases of slight dysplasia in the endocervical aspiration of IUD carriers, which were not statistically significant. The observations made for a slight cervical dysplasia were identical in both groups considered (3.5%). (Author's)^ieng
