Abstract
Sequential examination and interview of diethylstilbestrol-exposed (DES-exposed) and -unexposed women verified that DES exposure has no effect on age at menarche and indicated no differences in the age at first coitus, pregnancy and live birth. Analysis of variance indicated that there is an age-related increase in oligomenorrhea in DES-exposed women as compared to unexposed women that disappears as the patients reach their late 20s. Prospective data collection is required to substantiate this finding. There appears to be no substantial effect of in utero exposure to DES on women's ability to conceive.Entities:
