Midluteal endocrine profiles and endometrial biopsies were investigated before and at 3, 6 and 12 months after the operations. During postoperative follow-up there was significant increase in luteal phase deficiency and midluteal FSH, LH and E(2) levels (p<0.001). Progesterone levels significantly decreased (p<0.001) and anovulation was observed in 13 (30.2%) of 43 cases. Our data suggest that tubal sterilization carried increased risk in ovarian function, particularly luteal phase deficiency and anovulation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword]Article1015156WOS:A1994NG752000082-s2.0-0028271692803045510.1007/BF01986530N/AN/A
