We submitted 437 patients with cytological alterations that suggest viral infections to HPV test. 154 patients (35.24%) resulted positive for HPV; among these, 128 (83.11%) with a low degree of infectivity, 19 (12.33%), with an average degree of infectivity and 7 (4.54%) with a high degree of infectivity).
The Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the "first-line therapy" for women with moderate / severe menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, profuse sweating, insomnia, osteoporosis).However, when the symptomatology is lighter or there are contraindications to HRT (breast disease, cardiovascular disease, thrombophilic diathesis, smoke, etc), woman can benefit from some preparations such as phytoestrogens and Cimicifuga racemosa. At present there are insufficient data regarding the efficacy and safety of phytoestrogens in women with breast cancer: because this tumour disease is hormone-dependent, phytoestrogens should be considered contraindicated in patients survived to the disease.Our study assessed both the effectiveness of a new compound containing Cimicifuga racemosa, Agnus-Castus, Ginger, Hyaluronic acid and Zinc on the neurovegetative menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, profuse sweating, insomnia) and its safe use in patients with breast cancer.The results have shown that this compound is an excellent alternative to estrogen treatment of menopausal neurovegetative symptoms, even for patients with breast cancer who cannot take HRT or phytoestrogens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
