[Ovarian function and vegetative complaints after hysterectomy in normally cycling women (author's transl)].

: The assessment of the hormonal cycle after hysterectomy by means of radioimmunological determination of FSH, LH, Progesterone and Estradiol-17beta in serum and BBT-measurement revealed no obvious difference to a corresponding control-group of preclimacteric and climacteric women. The vegetative climacteric syndrome is much more frequently connected with the stable hypergonadotropic type than with the fluctuating hypergonadotropic or normogonadotropic type. Within the last two groups there is no correlation between vegetative complaints and the exent of ovarian function.
