[Sex gland morphology of schizophrenic patients during treatment with psychotropic drugs].
A macro- and microscopic study of genital glands was conducted in 33 cases of schizophrenia (14 females and 19 males). A practically normal histological picture of the ovary and testis was found in 12 cases, different degrees of involutional (atrophic) changes in 19 and tumours in 2 cases. The degree of expressed histological changes correlated with age and duration of the disease. Correlation between the histology of genital glands on the one hand and the duration and intensity of psychopharmacological treatment on the other one (mainly by neuroleptics) were not found.
