[Low-dose estrogens in the treatment of the climacteric syndrome].

Unlabelled: The present prospective study is aimed to estimate the effect of a low-dose combined oestrogen drug Cyclo-Menorette on climacteric syndrome in women with early menopause.
Material and Methods: The criteria for inclusion in the study were ac follows: 9-12 months of menopause, increased FSH levels, moderately expressed climacteric syndrome confirmed by the menopausal index of Kupperman and Hamilton-Anxiety-Scale /HAMA/. According to acceptance of hormone replacement therapy /HRT/ the women were divided into 2 groups--control T /n = 31/ and Cunder treatment T /n = 35/. The degree of climacteric syndrome expression after Kupperman and HAMA was estimated in all patients at the beginning as well as on the 3-d, 6-th 12-d months. The presence and dynamics of side effects were followed in the patients treated with HRT.
Results: Spontaneous improvement of complaints was found out in the control group with an increase of intragroup differences during the follow-up period. Most expressed improvement in the group under treatment was established during the first 3-6 months, the beneficial effect being preserved until the end of the study.
Conclusion: The use of 1 mg oestradiol valerat in combination with 2 mg oestriol results in a significant decrease of climacteric syndrome manifestation with slightly expressed and transient side effects.
