Résumé
In a 3-year prospective study, 30 postmenopausal women received transdermal E2 gel and every-other-day vaginal P in capsules. At study completion, endometrial thickness was significantly reduced as compared with baseline (2.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.9 mm), endometrial biopsy showed endometrial atrophy in all cases, and amenorrhea was achieved in 92.6% of cycles, while excellent patient satisfaction was achieved.
