[Preliminary study of the hormonal effect on various parameters of the pelvic floor in genitally active women without hormone therapy and in menopausal women].
This study proves the benefit of estrogens on the laxity, tonicity and contractility of the pelvic floor, as measured with a tonimetric instrument. The statistical hypothesis, that these three parameters are improved in genitally active women during estrogenic phase as compared to the progestative phase, as well as in menopausal women under substitutive treatment as compared to the menopausal women without hormonal treatment, is confirmed with a high degree of significance.
