Abstract

This study assessed the vaginal epithelial cells and its relationship with the reproductive hormones
as a determinant for fertility. 100 students participated in this cross-sectional study. The established
approach to the evaluation of ovarian function and endocrine disorders in the woman is based on
serial biochemical analyses of hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormones
and their metabolites. This study analyzed the ratio of parabasal, intermediate and superficial cells
in comparison with the presenting hormones. The biochemical analyses can be effectively
supplemented by the old-fashioned endometrial biopsies, or studies of endocervical mucus. In
addition, the vaginal smear may sometimes provide useful information and has the advantage of
being easy to obtain, rapidly evaluated, and inexpensive. Cytology is the study of cells collected byvarious means through microscopic examination. In the case of humans, the cytologic approach is
particularly valuable if laboratories specializing in endocrine analysis are not readily available. The
principle of the cytologic hormonal analysis is simple. The degree of maturation of the squamous
epithelium of the female genital tract depends on steroid hormones, mainly estrogen. Various
factors contribute to the fertility status of a woman. In the case of this study, age, abortion and use
of contraceptives are the significant contributing factors (p <0>1.96).
