Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to check fertility after the conisation of the cervix. Authors followed-up 74 conized women: 24 became pregnant and of the rest of them, 28 used contraceptive methods and 22 never became pregnant again. 76% of the pregnancies were normal. In only one case, in which the pregnancy was twin, was it necessary to use a cervical cerclage for cervical incontinence. Therefore conisation does not seem to be a limiting factor to fertility.
