Unlabelled:
Hormone replacement therapy in surgical menopause is a prophylactic measure that is used for preventing the short and long term effects of the lack of ovarian hormones.
Material And Methods:
This is a retrospective study conducted between 2004 and 2006 at the Iasi "Elena-Doamna" Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology on two series of patients: 46 patients with surgical menopause who received treatment with transdermal estradiol (Climara), and 20 surgical menopause patients not receiving this treatment who served as controls.
Results:
A decreases in the average levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and an increase in the HDL cholesterol level were identified in the series receiving Climara compared to the controls. The climacteric symptoms improved in the patients receiving treatment.
Conclusions:
Transdermal therapy with estradiol (Climara) is an effective method of treatment in surgically induced menopause.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
