Abstract:
The study was carried out in Hoankiem and Socson district in Hanoi city. In each area, 160 women were selected and divided in to 4 groups: the menopause of 5 years, >5-10 years, >10 years and groups of 25-39 year old. Vein blood were taken for the measurement of serum estradiol, FSH, LH concentration. The results showed that: Serum estradiol concentration significantly decreased in postmenopausal women compared with women at reproductive age and no difference between the menopausal groups. These values in Hoankiem women were higher than that in Socson women, specially with the menopause of 5 years. Serum FSH and LH concentration significantly increased in the menopausal period. While FSH concentration did not change during menopause time, LH concentration showed a tendency to decrease. Serum FSH concentration in the Hoankiem women was higher than this in Socson ones whereas serum concentration was lower
