Abstract
Aim: To investigate the efficacy of
progesterone vaginal gel on endometrial
hyperplasias.
Material and Methods: Twelve patients
who admitted our gynecology clinic with
irregular menstrual bleeding and were
diagnosed as endometrial hyperplasia with
endometrial sampling were included. Group 1
(n=6) received progesterone vaginal gel
(Crinone 8% vaginal gel, Serono
Pharmaceuticals, Turkey) daily, between 15-
25th cycle days, whereas Group 2 (n=6)
received Dydrogesterone (Duphaston 10 mg.tb,
Solvay, Turkey) per os twice daily, between
15-25th cycle days for three months.
Endometrial pathological findings, endometrial
thickness before and after treatment, blood
lipid profile were compared between groups.
Statistical analysis were performed in SPSS for
windows version 10.0 using Wilcoxon Signed
ranks test and Mann-Whitney U test. P<0,05
was considered statisticaly significant.
Results: Endometrial hyperplasia was
treated in 4 patient ( 66,6%) in Group 1 and 5
patients (%83,3) in Group 2. Lipid profile was not statistically significantly different between
groups. Endometrial thickness decreased
significantly after treatment when compared to
pre-treatment (p<0,05). Uterine artery rezistans
index increased significantly in Group 1
(p<0,05), wheras no changes was observed in
Group 2 (p>0,05).
Conclusion: Crinone 8% vaginal gel was
found effective in the treatment of endometrial
hyperplasia. Decreased uterine blood flow may
play a role in this effect. It has not any adverse
effect on blood lipid profile

Abstract
Amaç: Endometriyal hiperplazilerin
tedavisinde vajinal progesteron jelin
etkinliğinin araştırılması.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Jinekoloji
polikliniğimize düzensiz adet kanaması
şikayetiyle başvuran ve endometriyal biyopsi
ile basit atipisiz endometriyal hiperplazi tespit
edilmiş12 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Grup 1
(n=6) vajinal progesteron jel ( % 8 Crinone
vajinal jel, Serono Pharmaceuticals, Türkiye)
adetin 15-25. günleri arasın günde bir, Gurup 2
(n=6) ise Dydrogesteron ( Duphaston 10 mg tb
tablet, Solvay ilaç, Türkiye) oral yoldan adetin
15-25. günleri arası günde 2 kez 3 ay aldı. Her
iki gruptaki hastaların tedavi öncesi ve sonrası
endometriyal patolojileri, endometriyal
kalınlıkları, kan lipid profili ve uterin arter
rezistans indeksleri karşılaştırıldı. İstatistikler
SPSS 10.0 programında, Wilcoxon Signed
Rank test ve Mann-Whitney U testleri
kullanılarak yapıldı. P<0,05 istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Gurup 1’de endometriyal
hiperplazi olguların 4’ünde (%66,6)
iyileşirken, Gurup 2’de hastaların 5’inde
(%83.3) iyileşti. Her iki gurup lipid profili
açısından anlamlı bir farklılık göstermedi. Her
iki gurubun endometriyal kalınlıkları tedavi
sonrasında anlamlı ölçüde azaldı (p<0,05).
Uterin arter rezistans indeksi ise Gurup 2’de
tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında farklı değilken,
Gurup 1’de tedavi sonrasında anlamlı ölçüde
arttı (p<0,05).
Sonuç: %8 crinone vajinal jel
endometriyal hiperplazilerin tedavisinde
etkindir. Bu etkisinde uterin kan akımının
azalmasının rolü olabilir. Bu tedavinin kan
lipid profili üzerine olumsuz bir etkisi yoktur.
