Level of pituitary trophic hormone dictates dose of hormone replacement (HRT) in endocrine gland hypofunction. We examined 28 women receiving HRT in postmenopausis aged 46–63 yrs (54±4.27 yrs). In average patients started HRT two years after last spontaneous menstrual bleeding (28±3.76 months, 1–132 months). 8 patients used transdermal estradiol, 10 peroral combination of estradiol, estriol and norethisterone and 10 patients were treated by fixed peroral co...
