There were 36 incomplete and 3 complete expulsions: the expulsion rate was 10.2%. The continuation rate was 69.2%. 3 types of infection were observed: endometritis, salpingitis and adnexitis, and pelviperitonitis. The percentage of such infections was 3.7%. (Summary in ENG).

The author reviews problems concerning infertility in developed countries. Topics covered include natural fertility, "demographic and social trends in family planning such as increasing maternal age at first childbirth, the increase of age-specific infertility rates through known ([adnexitis]), unknown (the environment) or debatable (induced abortion, certain contraceptive methods) causes, and the availability of highly developed techniques to assist conception. The actual prevalence of infertility is poorly documented and is either derived from demographic surveys or from hospital populations.

One survey of this type indicates a lifetime prevalence of 17% of couples." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
