Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between breast symptom, characteristic of ultrasound image and sex hormone level in women with different menstruation status.Methods 50 women with normal men-strual cycle, 129 women in menopause transition and 318 menopausal women were recruited.Breast ultrasound were performed.Breast section thickness, ductal width, breast structure and blood flow were measured.Serum estradiol( E2 ) and progesterone( P) level were measured by enzyme immunoassay on the day when ultrasound was performed.Onset and persistent days of breast pain were recorded.Results ①32(60.4%)women with normal menstrual cycle and 74(57.4%)women in menopause transition women experienced cyclic mastalgia.The aver-age serum E2 level and serum progesterone level were higher in women with cyclic breast pain than in women with-out breast pain.12.5%of menopausal women had breast pain.There was no significant difference of average ser-um E2 level between women with cyclic breast pain and women without breast pain②Breast section thickness was (14.4 ±4.3)mm,(13.0 ±3.7)mm and(10.6 ±3.2)mm, and ductal width was(0.62 ±0.18)mm,(0.88 ± 0.39)mm and(0.90 ±0.47)mm in normal menstrual group, menopause transition group and menopausal group, respectively.The difference had statistical significance.③26 women ( 49.1%) in normal menstrual group had breast structure changes, while 42 cases ( 32.6%) and 60 cases ( 18.9%) in menopause transition group and menopausal group had breast structure changes.Conclusions Most women in normal menstruation and meno-pause transition group experience mastalgia.About 1/3 breast structure change in women of normal menstruation are inversible.About 1/2 breast structure change in menopause transition and menopausal group are similar to those with normal menstruation.
