title: Relationship between serum estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone levels and urodynamic results in women with stress urinary incontinence.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the current study was to determine the relationship between the serum estradiol (E2) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and the urodynamic study results in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Eighty women were selected among patients who underwent urodynamic testing for SUI. Basic demographic features were evaluated and laboratory tests were performed. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed among the serum E2 and FSH levels and urodynamic results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  E2 had a negative correlation with the Q-tip test in post-menopause. FSH had positive correlations with the post-void residual volume in the uroflowmetry and the voiding and flow times in the pressure-flow study in all of the patients and a negative correlation with the peak flow rate in the pressure-flow study in pre-menopause.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  E2 and FSH were associated with urodynamic parameters in female patients with SUI.
