Cyclic hormonal changes in patients with congenital abscence of the uterus.
Our studies have shown normal cyclical patterns of ovarian steroids and pituitary gonadotropines in patients with congenital absence of the uterus. It appears that the life-long abscence of a functioning uterus has no effect on the functional life span of the corpus luterum, but may have some effect in the level of estrogenes in the second half of the cycle.
