DISTURBANCE OF THE HORMONAL BACKGROUND IN WOMEN WITH HYPOFUNCTION OF THE OVARIES WITH MENIER'S DISEASE

Abstract

Meniere's disease is a non-purulent disease of the inner ear, characterized by an increase in the volume of endolymph. In addition, it is known that the onset of the disease in women often coincides with periods of physiological or pathological decrease in the hormonal function of the ovaries: the hemorrhagic phase of the menstrual cycle, menstrual irregularities accompanied by hypoestrogenia. We studied 18 people, conducted audiometric, vestibulometric and electron-histagographic studies. Patients were treated during the period of remission for 2-3 menstrual cycles in continuous monitoring in the form of dynamic hormonal studies excretion of sex steroids. Based on the results of hormonal examination and treatment, it should be assumed that hormonal therapy for women with Meniere's disease, which occurs against the background of ovarian hypofunction, is quite effective for stopping attacks of vestibular disorders. This therapy is a substitute.
