Abstract

Prostaglandin levels in plasma and peritoneal fluid were determined in 10 sterilized women with pelvic pain without pathological findings. Another 15 healthy women were regarded as controls. The 6-keto-PGF1 alpha levels in peritoneal fluid collected from patients with pelvic pain were significantly higher than that from the controls (p less than 0.05). The results indicated that prostaglandins might play an important role in pelvic pain following sterilization.
