Estradiol-progesterone correlation as a marker of severity of premenstrual syndrome
Abstrct: The level of estradiol in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle was significantly higher in women with severe course of PMS compared to patients from other groups. During PMS, a correlation relation between the level of estradiol (r=0,87; P<0,0001), estradiol-progesterone correlation (r=0,81; P<0,0001) and degree of severity of PMS in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle was observed.
Keywords: premenstrual syndrome, estradiol, progesterone, correlation estradiol/progesterone.

ing before menstruation were examined. The mean age was 28,8 ± 6,19 years old (95% CI 27,8-29,9). The control group consisted of 26 women of same age with the absence of clinical manifestations of PMS. Depending on the degree of severity of disease, the patients were divided into 3 groups. The group with light degree included 66 (51,2%) women; with medium degree of severity — 43 (33,3%) and severe degree — 20 (15,5%) women. PMS diagnosis was established on the basis of complaints and anamnesis.
The research of the levels of estradiol and progesterone in the blood serum was done by radio-immune method with the sets made by «Beckman Coulter» on the meters «Gamma-12» and «Strangt 300» at the laboratory of RSSRMCE.

The obtained data was processed with the help of the package of applied programs StatSoft Statistica 6.0. and Biostat. The odd ration (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated with the use oflogistic regression. The significance of differences of the indicators was evaluated with the help of non-parametric criterion x2 (Pearson's test). The quantitative indicators were presented in the form of a median (Me) and 25 and 75 percentiles (IQR). The differences between groups were considered statistically significant at p=0,05.
Results. Conducted studies showed that regardless the degree of severity of disease, the level of estradiol and progesterone in the follicular phase differed from the control group insignificantly (Table 1.).

Remark: E/P — correlation estradiol/progesterone; Pc -; Pl —; Pm of PMS respectively.
The patients with medium degree of severity of PMS showed statistically significant increase of the concentration of estradiol (595,4±99,0 pmol/l; P <0,0001) compared with these indicators in women with light degree of severity and without the manifestation of this disease. The level of progesterone was within the limits of control values (39,4±1,19 nmol/l; P=0,25). The analysis of correlation E/P (15,1±3,96; P <0,0001) in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle showed significant excess compared to the data in both, the control group and the group with light degree of severity of PMS.
In women with the severe course of PMS, the level of estradiol (729,1±141,0 pmol/l; P <0,0001) in the luteal phase of menstrual
— significance with regard to control, light and medium degree of severity
cycle was significantly higher than identical indicators of the patients in other groups. The concentration of progesterone in blood didn't change significantly (38,1±6,83 nmol/l; P=0,87).
Positive correlation relation between the level of estradiol (r=0,71; P<0,05), the indicator E/P and deg ree of severity of PMS (r=0,63; P<0,05) in the luteal phase ofmenstrual cycle was revealed.
Thus, based on the conducted research, one can state that women with PMS show direct correlation dependence between the severity of the course of disease and concentration of estradiol in blood as well as estradiol-progesterone correlation. It provides ground to reckon that E/P is an objective test of the severity of PMS course and efficiency of treatment.
