The effects of copper-releasing IUDs on the endometrial ultrastructure were evaluated in 101 women. Endometrial samples were obtained in the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, both during and after IUD use, and were evaluated using both scanning and electron microscopy. The degree and extent of changes to the surface ultrastructure of the endometrium were found to be related to the copper surface area of the IUD. Regardless of the duration of IUD use, by one month after IUD removal the endometrial ultrastructure had returned to its normal state. The results of this study show that the effects of copper-releasing IUDs on the endometrial ultrastructure are essentially limited to the time the IUD is in utero. |
