Abstract

A smelt on histopathological changes in the fallopian tubes of 21 young and healthy nonpregnant women was done. Among these subjects 11 were taken as control (Group A) who did not use any of the contraceptive methods and compared with remaining 10 subjects (Group 0) who used oral contraceptives. About 1.5 cm of each fallopian rube was collected during the process of nebectomy by Pomeroy's method. These tissue samples were processed for H/E staining and microscopic observations were done. On the basis of microscopical findings the fallopian tubes were categorised into normal, acute endosalphingitis, subacute endosalphingitis and chronic endosalphingitis'. Microscopical findings taken into consideration were oedema. polymorphonuclear leucocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells and fibrosis. All findings were recorded and statistical analysis was done by student test. Incidence of chronic endosalphigitis was significantly increased (p<0.01) in case of pill user group in comparison to COMM! group.
