The paper is concerned with the results of therapy of the climacteric syndrome: the 1st group--typical CS with predominant emotional-vegetative dystonia of vagoinsular nature, skin sensitivity to a certain fraction of estrogens was increased, the 2nd group--CS complicated by hypertension, skin reaction to progesterone; the 3rd group--CS with emotional-vegetative dystonia of mixed type, skin sensitivity to estrogens and progesterone. Intracutaneous administrations of fractions of estrogens (E) and progesterone (P) were at a ratio of E:P = 4:1 for the 1st group, E:P = 1:1 for the 2nd and 3rd groups, causing a complete convalescence of 77 of 94 patients and a partial convalescence of 17 patients.
