[Evaluation of the luteal function after sterilization by mid-luteal progesterone assay (author's transl)].


 This study compares luteal function in 65 controls, in 40 patients sterilized by the Hulka-Clemens method, in 11 sterilized by unipolar electrocoagulation, and in 20 sterilized by the Pomeroy method. Levels of serum progesterone were measured between the 19th and the 22nd day of the menstrual cycle, and again 6 months after sterilization. Women who had been sterilized by unipolar coagulation or by tubal ligation had significantly lower mean midluteal progesterone levels than women sterilized by the Hulka-Clemens method. It seems therefore safe to affirm that certain methods of utero-ovarian anastomosis can influence luteal function and, consequently, the menstrual cycle. This study shows that there are no increased irregularities after sterilization with Hulka clips.
