Abstract

The effects of progestational agents on the vaginal flora have been studied in a group of women who had been taking a variety of oral contraceptives. Control observations have also been made. The results clearly demonstrate that in the former series there is an increased incidence of Candida vaginitis. Isolation of other organisms was affected by ingestion of contraceptive pills but not in a significant number of cases. Although not statistically valid we have the general feeling that sequential-type agents may not be as adverse as the combination type in regard to Candida vaginitis.
