High estrogen levels during pregnancy did not show a clear effect on Eustachian tube function in women. Eustachian tube function varied significantly, indicating complex individual responses to hormonal changes.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Endocrinology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Upper respiratory mucosa is known to respond to sex hormones.
  • Oestrogen's influence on the Eustachian tube is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of elevated oestrogen levels on Eustachian tube function.
  • To assess Eustachian tube function changes during pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective evaluation of 53 healthy pregnant women.
  • Assessment of Eustachian tube function at various pregnancy stages.

Main Results:

  • Eustachian tube function exhibited high variability among individuals and across pregnancy stages.
  • No specific trend was observed correlating increasing oestrogen levels with Eustachian tube function.

Conclusions:

  • Pregnancy-induced high oestrogen levels do not appear to follow a predictable pattern in affecting Eustachian tube function.
  • Individual variability plays a significant role in Eustachian tube response to hormonal fluctuations.
