Pelvic examinations in 1,906 women at the Gynaecological Room, Out-Patient Department, Siriraj Hospital, in June 1990 were studied. The range of ages was between 14 and 85 years, the mean age being 34.5 +/- 11.5 years. Almost three-quarters (74.7%) of the cases had undergone Pap smear examinations; of these, 36.5 per cent followed up on the results and 6.7 per cent were sent the results by postcard as requested by the patients. The percentage of the clinical diagnoses in women who underwent pelvic and Pap smear examinations (Pap smear data are within the parentheses) were: 36.6 (29.0) no abnormal findings, 14.9 (10.5) vulvovaginitis and leukorrhea, 10.1 (9.7) cervicitis and cervical erosion, 5.6 (1.9) bleeding per os, 3.4 (0.3) abortion, and 3.3 (1.3) adnexitis. The mean age of the women with various diseases were: 27 years in cases of abortion; 30-34 years in women with inflammation of the vulva, vagina, cervix and adnexa, including bleeding per os; 41-45 years in women with cervical polyps, suspected carcinoma, precancer and carcinoma of the cervix, combined with myoma uteri; 48 years in women with relaxation of the genital organ. Every woman who underwent pelvic examination should have a Pap smear and VCE technique performed for the early detection of cervical carcinoma. Health care workers should also ensure that every patient follows up on the results.

The influence of copper versus norgestrel-releasing IUDs in cervical and vaginal microflora was investigated prior to and 3 and 12 months after IUD insertion. 90 women were provided with a levonorgestrel-releasing device, while another 50 women were fitted with a copper IUD. The use of an IUD did not lead to any obvious changes in the vaginal or cervical microflora, regardless of type of device. In addition, there were no significant differences in the distribution of various microorganisms between the 2 study groups. None of the study subjects developed pelvic inflammatory disease or symptoms of nonspecific vaginitis during the study period. On the basis of these findings, it was concluded that locally released progestogens from an IUD do not affect the microbiology of either the cervix or the vagina. Any increased risk of adnexitis or nonspecific vaginitis in IUD users thus appears to not result from changes in vaginal or cervical microflora.
