Cytologic evaluation of hormonal dynamic in the postmenopause.

A Schachter, A Segall, E Avram

    Maturitas
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    The postmenopausal ovary retains endocrine function, influencing vaginal epithelium. Vaginal cytology, while less precise than blood tests, can assess hormonal effects and epithelial atrophy in postmenopausal women.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gynecology
    • Cytopathology

    Background:

    • The postmenopausal ovary may retain endocrine function, contributing to vaginal epithelium proliferation.
    • Vaginal cytology is a tool for assessing epithelial response to hormonal stimuli.
    • Vaginal cytology's accuracy is lower than biochemical estimations but shows good correlation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the endocrine function of the postmenopausal ovary.
    • To assess vaginal epithelium proliferation in postmenopausal women.
    • To correlate cytological findings with factors like ethnic origin, reproductive history, and health status.

    Main Methods:

    • A cytological study was conducted on postmenopausal women.
    • A classification system based on epithelial atrophy depth was used for cytological typing.
    • Findings were analyzed in relation to ethnic origin, reproductive life, and concurrent illnesses.

    Main Results:

    • Vaginal cytology can indicate persistent vaginal epithelium proliferation in postmenopausal women.
    • The study utilized a specific classification for cytological typing based on atrophy.
    • Results were discussed considering various patient-specific factors.

    Conclusions:

    • The postmenopausal ovary's endocrine function impacts vaginal cytology.
    • Cytological assessment of epithelial atrophy provides insights into hormonal status.
    • Further research should consider ethnic, reproductive, and health factors in interpreting results.
