This prospective study was performed with ultrasound (US) to determine the prevalence of unilocular, nonseptated adnexal cysts ("simple cysts") in healthy postmenopausal women and the relationship between cyst occurrence and both hormone replacement and length of time since onset of menopause. Transabdominal and transvaginal US were performed on 149 volunteers aged 50 years or older. Patients were classified according to hormone regimens (no hormones, unopposed estrogen, continuous daily estrogen and progesterone, and sequential estrogen and progesterone) and time since onset of menopause (less than 5 years, 5-10 years, and greater than 10 years). Simple adnexal cysts were found in 22 women with the aid of transvaginal and/or transabdominal US, yielding a relative frequency of 14.8% +/- 5.7% and a prevalence of 14,800 patients with cysts per 100,000 patients. No statistical relationship was found between cyst frequency and type of hormone replacement or length of time since onset of menopause.
本前瞻性研究采用超声（US）来确定健康绝经后女性中单房、无分隔附件囊肿（“单纯囊肿”）的患病率，以及囊肿发生与激素替代治疗和绝经开始后的时间长度之间的关系。对149名年龄在50岁及以上的志愿者进行了经腹和经阴道超声检查。患者根据激素治疗方案（无激素、单纯雌激素、持续每日雌激素和孕激素、序贯雌激素和孕激素）以及绝经开始后的时间（少于5年、5至10年、大于10年）进行分类。借助经阴道和/或经腹超声，在22名女性中发现了单纯附件囊肿，相对频率为14.8%±5.7%，每100,000名患者中囊肿患病率为14,800例。未发现囊肿频率与激素替代治疗类型或绝经开始后的时间长度之间存在统计学关系。
