Improving Colposcopy for Postmenopausal Women
Postmenopausal women often face challenges during colposcopy, including:
- Easy bleeding due to thinning vaginal tissue
- Poor visibility during the procedure
- Lower sensitivity of colposcopy
Study Overview
To address these issues, we conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a compound sea-buckthorn oil suppository as a pretreatment for colposcopy. The study involved 368 postmenopausal women who were divided into three groups:
- Group A: No treatment (control)
- Group B: Treated with sea-buckthorn oil suppositories
- Group C: Treated with estrogen ointment
Key Findings
After two weeks of treatment, we observed significant improvements in:
- Vaginal tissue integrity
- Quality of colposcopy results
- Patient satisfaction with the tests
Both Group B (sea-buckthorn oil) and Group C (estrogen) showed better results compared to Group A, with no major differences between Groups B and C.
Side Effects
Group C (estrogen ointment) reported:
- 5.6% experienced breast discomfort
- 4% reported dizziness and headaches
In contrast, no side effects were reported in Group B (sea-buckthorn oil), making it a safer option.
Conclusion
The compound sea-buckthorn oil suppository is effective in enhancing the sensitivity and satisfaction of colposcopy for postmenopausal women. It is a cost-effective alternative to estrogen ointment with fewer side effects, making it suitable for clinical use.
