In 40 women with hypotonic urinary bladder the influence of 17alpha-Athinyl-3-isopropyl-sulfonyloxy-Ostradiol (Athinylöstradiol) (3 X 15 mug/die without weekend) was examined concerning the intravesical pressure; The cystotonometry has been done just before as well in intervalls of 2 months during half year's period of treatment. The authors used the fill-up-cystotonometry of Hartl. The intra-vesical pressure rose significantly by the influence of Athinylöstradiolsulfonat after 2 months treatment already. In comparison to the hypotonic value before treatment there was an average normotonic urinary bladder after application of Athinylöstradiolsulfonat past 4 and 6 months.
