Menstrual Function In Women Research Articles

Morphological criteria for normalization of menstrual function in women with spontaneous abortion.

Normalization of the menstrual function in women with spontaneous abortion receiving sorbent and bioresonance (extremely high-frequency) therapy was evaluated by morphological criteria (correspondence of structural changes in the endometrium to the phase of the menstrual cycle). The absence of microvilli and cilia on the apical surface of surface and glandular epitheliocytes, presence of intranuclear tubules and giant mitochondria in the cytoplasm, and signs of apocrine secretion in epitheliocytes attested to the luteal phase of the cycle.

Determinants of bone loss in a rural Japanese community: the Taiji Study.

The objective of this study was to assess the rate of bone loss and characterize its determinants, among the inhabitants of Taiji, a rural Japanese community. A cohort of 2261 inhabitants aged 40-79 years was established using resident registration in 1992. Fifty men and 50 women in each of four age strata between 40 and 79 years were randomly selected and completed a self-administered risk factor questionnaire. Baseline bone density of lumbar spine and proximal femur was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 1993. BMD was measured again on the same participants in 1996. The rates of change of lumbar spine BMD in men in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s were 0.20%, 0.34%, 0.43% and 0.28% respectively. Rates in women were -0.35%, -1.02%, -0.10% and -0.20% respectively. At the femoral neck, rates of change in BMD among men in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s were 0.09%, -0.07%, 0.34% and 0.31% respectively. Femoral neck rates of change among women were -0.55%, 0.02%, 0.49% and -0.25% respectively. The rate of change of lumbar spine BMD was -0.24% in premenopausal women with regular periods, -1.99% in premenopausal women with irregular periods and -0.33% in postmenopausal women. Anthropometric measurements at baseline were also related significantly to change in bone density. Baseline weight and height were statistically significant predictors of bone loss rate. These data provide estimates of the rate of bone loss among Japanese men and women aged 40-79 years. They suggest that body build and menstrual function in women are important determinants of bone loss.

Reconstructive plastic surgery on the uterus and postoperative rehabilitation of patients

Surgical treatment of 97 patients with uterine myoma and anomalies of its development was carried out. Conservative myomectomy, high supravaginal amputation, amputation of the uterus with endometrial plasty, Strassmann operation were used. In the postoperative period, physiotherapeutic methods of rehabilitation were used, which made it possible to reduce the postoperative period and restore reproductive and menstrual function in women.
