<![CDATA[Objective: To describe the effect of clomiphene citrate on the
quality of cervical mucus in infertile women.
Method: This study is a non-randomized clinical trial. The study
was carried out at several education hospitals in Makassar from
March 2008 to April 2009. The subjects of the study were infertile
women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria with intervention study.
The statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon Sign-ed
Rank Test with α 5%.
Result: There were 36 cases found, and most were in the range
of 26 - 30 years old (38.9%), university level education (50%), civil
servant (47.2%), normal nutritionals status (55.5%), regular menstruation
cycle (94.4%), marriage length 1 - 5 years (52.8%), and previously
treated (61.1%). There was a significant difference of the
cervical mucus quality in the infertile women before and after the
administration of clomiphene citrate which tend to become worse (p
= 0.012). At previously CC-treated group, it was found that after the
administration of clomiphene citrate, the quality of cervical mucus
tend to be worse (100%).
Conclusion: The administration of clomiphene citrate tends to
have declining effect on cervical-mucus quality of infertile women.
