Abstract

Objective(s) : To study cervical changes in copper-T users, along with effect of Cu-T on cervical pap smear and colposcopy to ascertain the safety of Cu-T with reference to cervical dysplasia. Method(s) : 50 women with Cu-T in situ were subjected to detailed history taking, clinical examination, pap smear study, high vaginal swab culture sensitivity and colposcopic examination. These women were compared with 50 asymptomatic women without any IUCD matched for age parity and socioeconomic status. Results : Backache (48%) and menorrhagia (38%) were most common complaints. 46% of subjects had normal cytology as compared to 96% in controls. Atypia of squamous cell of undermined significance were seen in 2% of subject as compared to none in controls. Infections were present in 20% of subjects. Conclusion(s) : There is no precipitous carcinogenicity of Cu-T but a long term follow up is needed. Subjects having Cu-T deserves continuous surveillance but are not subjected to increased risk of malignancy.
