Changes in the distensibility of dorsal hand veins during the menstrual cycle were measured in 19 healthy young women using a new optical method relying upon a pressure-diameter principle. Significantly greater venous distensibility was found during the first half compared with the second half of the menstrual cycle. The possible causes for this finding, particularly the role of oestrogen, are discussed.
采用一种基于压力-直径原理的新型光学方法,对19名健康年轻女性月经周期中手背静脉扩张性的变化进行了测量。结果发现,月经周期的前半期静脉扩张性显著大于后半期。本文讨论了这一发现的可能原因,特别是雌激素的作用。
