Analysis of factors related to endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women with endometrial thickening
assessment was carried out. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify the independent contributors to the development of EC. The ability of ET to predict EC...
Conclusion: For postmenopausal women with increased ET and PMB, older age, thicker ET, and polypoid mass-like lesions on transvaginal ultrasound were independent associated factors for EC. An ET greater than 9.5 mm is a threshold for predicting EC. For postmenopausal women with increased ET without PMB, the incidence of endometrial malignancy...

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37543616/
Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million women worldwide, with postmenopausal women being particularly susceptible to this condition and its severe sequelae disproportionately, such as osteoporotic fractures. To date, the current...
Discussion: Menopause age > 50 was possibly a protective factor. The endogenous estrogen exposure was negatively correlated with the risk of all fracture sites combined, as well as hip and vertebral fractures specifically. Therefore, our study confirmed the association between lower lifetime endogenous estrogen exposure and increased...

Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10376207/
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause for prescription of antibiotics among women in general practice. Diagnosis is often established by inquiry into clinical history and symptoms, and these...
Conclusion: The differences in symptom scores in this study were around 0.5 points, corresponding to half of women moving from “a little” to “some” or “some” to “a lot”. This study indicates that menopause status should be taken into account when using symptoms to diagnose and evaluate response to UTI treatment, both in...
