title: [Oestriol - its application to clinical practice in gynaecology (author's transl)].
abstract: Oestriol preparations were applied to 107 patients with genital decent or genital prolapse. The treatment was both presurgical and postoperative. Oestriol was found to have strong effects on the vaginal epithelium, and the absence of any proliferative effect upon the endometrium was confirmed. The defence position of both the vagina and the lower urinary pathways was improved by oestriol. Microcirculation in central and peripheral vascular zones was increased in response to the administration of oestriol preparations. The postoperative period was without any complications. Postsurgical hospitalisation was reduced from 18.6 +/- 1.5 to 15.6 +/- 0.7 days.
