Questionnaires about the acute menopausal symptoms, incontinence score, blood lipid profile, bone turnover marker were checked before and 12 weeks after surgery.
RESULTS
Kupperman's index and insentience score were showed less increased rate than control group. Total cholesterol and triglyceride were increased in all groups and HDL cholesterol was increased in estrogen and isoflavone groups. Osteocalcin was decreased in estrogen and isoflavone groups, ICTP was decreased in estrogen group, and increased in the other groups.
