New colposcopy study findings have been reported from S.N. Joshi et al.
According to a study from Pune, India, "We assessed colposcopically observed vascular changes occurring in the cervix in relation to cyclical hormonal variation in healthy women. Thirty women with regular menstrual cycles and willing to remain sexually abstinent during a menstrual cycle were enrolled."
"Colposcopy was performed during the peak of the estrogen and progesterone levels. The mean (+/- SD) diameter of the largest visible blood vessel differed significantly between the estrogenic phase (0.38 +/- 0.14 mm) as compared with the progestogenic phase (0.47 +/- 0.12 mm; p
The researchers concluded: "Elevated interleukin 8 during the estrogenic phase needs further evaluation."
Joshi and colleagues published the results of their research in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease (Colposcopically Observed Vascular Changes in the Cervix in Relation to the Hormonal Levels and Menstrual Cycle. Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, 2008;12(4):293-299).
