OBJECTIVE: To review the effects of in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) on müllerian development and subsequent reproductive function. DESIGN: The literature on DES and reproductive function was reviewed and summary data are presented. The studies were identified through the computerized MEDLINE database and a manual search of relevant bibliographies. RESULT(S): In utero exposure to DES resulted in reduced fertility and increased rates of ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, and preterm delivery. CONCLUSION(S): An understanding of the reproductive performance of women who were exposed to DES in utero is useful for counseling these patients regarding their risks and treatment options. |
