Abstract

Two groups of patients showing tension and anxiety symptoms have been presented. In one group, with vaginal smears indicating hyperestrinism, androgen alone was used with favorable results. The other group, previously treated for hypo-ovaria or menopausal symptoms with estrogen alone without relief of tension, was given estrogen-androgen therapy with excellent results.Buccal tablets of testosterone propionate (Oreton Buccal Tablets) were used. Buccal dosage should be approximately twice parenteral dosage. Optimal neutralizing estrogen-androgen, as revealed by percentage of cornified cells in vaginal smears, is 1:40.Androgen alone and with estrogen has a definite place in gynecologic therapy. This field should be further explored. Androgen is effective in dosages less than those producing masculinization.
