[The sex hormone content of the peripheral blood in women with gonorrhea and gonorrhea-trichomoniasis infections].

Peripheral blood estradiol, progesterone, testosterone were measured in 100 women with gonorrhea and Gonococcus-Trichomonas infection. Estradiol levels were found reduced in both phases, progesterone level elevated in the follicular and lowered in the lutein phases of the menstrual cycle as against the norm. Elevated testosterone levels were revealed in the peripheral blood of women with gonorrhea, particularly so in chronic gonorrhea and mixed Gonococcus-Trichomonas infection. Therapy did not result in normalization of blood hormone concentrations, this pointing to advisability of including the drugs correcting hormonal disorders into a complex of treatment of such patients.
