摘要:

Random blood samples were obtained from 114 women with history of diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure in utero and were analyzed for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), and progesterone (P) by respective radiommunoassays. Colposcopic examinations of the lower genital tract and biopsies of suspicious areas of vaginal mucosa were performed in every patient. The mean age of these patients was 21.6 ± 0.3 years (mean ± SE) and mean age of menarche was 12.6 ± 1.0 years. The incidence of irregular menses was 16.7%. A positive colposcopic finding was observed in 73.7% of all patients, 69.5% of patients with regular menses, and 94.7% of patients with irregular menses. Histologically confirmed vaginal adenosis was found in 43% of all patients, 46.3% of patients with regular menses, and 42.1% of patients with irregular menses. No significant differences were observed between DES-exposed versus unexposed females with regular menses in all hormones except testosterone. An elevated testosterone level was noted in postovulatory and perimenstrual phases of DES-exposed females. Elevated testosterone was also observed in DES-exposed females with irregular menses. Cross-analysis of hormone levels among the patients with lower genital tract pathology failed to show any statistical differences.
