To evaluate the effect and feasibility of using estrogen cream for the prevention and treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in postmenopausal women.
Forty-five postmenopausal women with a history of recurrent UTI were divided into two groups (group premarin and group antibiotic). Participants were assigned to apply intravaginal premarin cream (group premarin, n = 30) or oral antibiotic (group antibiotic, n = 15) for 3 months respectively. Urine routine test, midstream urine and vaginal cultures, vaginal health score (VHS), vaginal cell maturation value (MV), endometrial thickness and blood estrogen level were obtained before and after the study.
The incidence of UTI in the group premarin was significantly reduced as compared with that in the group antibiotic (2/27 vs. 12/15, P < 0.001). In the group premarin Lactobacilli reappeared (from 0 to 59.3%) and MV (from 9.2 +/- 6.8 to 74.6 +/- 14.1) and VHS (from 5.2 +/- 0.4 to 13.4 +/- 2.5) were improved after 3 months. There was no significant change in the group antibiotic.
It seems that intravaginal use of estrogen cream would effectively prevent and reduce the UTI in postmenopausal women.
评估使用雌激素乳膏预防和治疗绝经后女性复发性尿路感染(UTI)的效果及可行性。
将45例有复发性UTI病史的绝经后女性分为两组(倍美力组和抗生素组)。参与者分别被分配使用阴道内倍美力乳膏(倍美力组,n = 30)或口服抗生素(抗生素组,n = 15),为期3个月。在研究前后获取尿常规、中段尿和阴道培养物、阴道健康评分(VHS)、阴道细胞成熟值(MV)、子宫内膜厚度和血液雌激素水平。
与抗生素组相比,倍美力组UTI的发生率显著降低(2/27对12/15,P < 0.001)。在倍美力组中,3个月后乳酸杆菌重新出现(从0增至59.3%),MV(从9.2±6.8增至74.6±14.1)和VHS(从5.2±0.4增至13.4±2.5)得到改善。抗生素组无显著变化。
阴道内使用雌激素乳膏似乎可有效预防和减少绝经后女性的UTI。
