Abstract
The function and reactivity of the hypothalamo - anterior pituitary axis had been tested after primary ablactation with ethinylestradiol sulfonate (EES) by means of the doubled GnRH-TRH-test. The reaction of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis is, in early puerperium, drastically reduced by GnRH stimulation. The physiological hyperprolactinemia of puerperium leads to a non-responsiveness by means of exogenous GnRH. Simultaneously there exists a greater sensitivity of the hypothalamo-pituitary system for the negative and a relatively lesser sensitivity for the positive feedback of estrogens in puerperium.
