Purpose: The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between endometrialthickness and metabolic parameters and sex-steroids in postmenopausal women.Methods: We used data of patients attending a prospective study between 2010 and 2012. Wecompared endometrial thickness of postmenopausal women with hormonal and metabolicparameters.Results: We included 54 patients in this study. Mean FSH level of patients with an endometrialthickness

Postmenopozal Kadınlarda Endometrial Kalınlığın Seks Hormonları ve Metabolik Parametrelerle İlişkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma postmenopozal kadınlarda seks steroidleri ve metabolik parametreler ileendometrial kalınlık arasındaki bağlantıyı araştırmak amacıyla planlandıGereç ve Yöntem: 2010-2012 yılları arasında prospektif bir çalışmaya dahil olan hastalarınverileri değerlendirildi. Postmenopozal hastaların endometrial kalınlık ölçümleri, hormonal vemetabolik parametreleri ile karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 54 hasta dahil edildi. Endometrial kalınlığı 5mm'nin altında olan olgulardaortalama FSH değeri 83.8±27.7 mIU/ml, endometrial kalınlığı 5mm ve üzerinde olan olgulardaise ortalama FSH değeri 52.4±16.7mIU/ml olarak bulunmuştur (p=0.043). Endometrial kalınlıkile seks steroidleri, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve metabolik parametreler arasında bir ilişkisaptanmamıştır.Sonuç: Postmenopozal olgularda endometrial kalınlık artışında rol oynayabilecek biyokimyasalve hormonal parametre bulunmamıştır. Daha büyük hasta grupları ile çalışmak sonuçlarıdeğiştirebilir
