ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the difference between estrogen only therapy and estrogen-androgen combination therapy in surgical menopause patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHOD:
Surgical menopause patients received 0.625 mg conjugated equine estrogens or 0.625 mg conjugated equine estrogens plus 1.25 mg methyltestosterone for 2 years. Bone mineral density, menopausal symptoms, lipoprotein profiles were measured.RESULTS:
Both groups showed increased bone mineral density. In the combination group, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides decreased. In the estrogen only group, low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased but high density lipoprotein cholesterol increased significantly. In both groups, menopausal symptoms were much improved. Side effects were easily tolerated in both groups. CONSLUSIONS Estrogen-androgen combination therapy had comparable benefits compared with estrogen only therapy.
