The purpose of this study is to compare the psychosomatic symptoms of postmenopausal women who are users of hormonal treatment with the psychosomatic symptoms of nonusers. We studied 68 postmenopausal women receiving estrogen treatment (age range 48-56 years; 51.1 +/- 1.9, mean +/- SD) and 50 postmenopausal women (age range 45-55 years; 50.7 +/- 2.5) as controls. The symptoms we studied were: (1) nightly perspiration; (2) vasomotor flushes; (3) dyspnea; (4) vertigo; (5) headache; (6) disturbance of libido; (7) depression, and (8) anxiety. We found a beneficial effect of estrogen treatment in nightly perspiration (p less than 0.01), vasomotor flushes (p less than 0.001) and disturbance of libido (p less than 0.01). We found no difference between the two groups in dyspnea, vertigo, headache, depression and anxiety. Our findings show that with hormonal treatment in postmenopausal women there is a beneficial effect in only some psychosomatic symptoms.
本研究的目的是比较接受激素治疗的绝经后女性与未接受激素治疗的绝经后女性的身心症状。我们研究了68名接受雌激素治疗的绝经后女性（年龄范围48 - 56岁；平均年龄51.1±1.9岁，均值±标准差）以及50名绝经后女性（年龄范围45 - 55岁；平均年龄50.7±2.5岁）作为对照。我们研究的症状包括：（1）夜间出汗；（2）血管舒缩性潮红；（3）呼吸困难；（4）眩晕；（5）头痛；（6）性欲障碍；（7）抑郁，以及（8）焦虑。我们发现雌激素治疗对夜间出汗（p<0.01）、血管舒缩性潮红（p<0.001）和性欲障碍（p<0.01）有有益影响。我们发现两组在呼吸困难、眩晕、头痛、抑郁和焦虑方面没有差异。我们的研究结果表明，绝经后女性接受激素治疗仅对某些身心症状有有益影响。
