In 40 premenopausal women who underwent TAH&BSO serum E2 levels were measured by means of RIA in 3 time points: before the operation, in the postoperative day 2 and in the postoperative day 3. In 20 of the subjects the ERT (transdermal estradiol 0.1 g/24 h) was introduced in the 2 postoperative day. In the postoperative day 2 the average serum E2 decreased by nearly 90% as compared to the preoperative values. Twenty four hours after the application of the transdermal E2 patch, the estradiol level returned to the values insignificantly different from the preoperative ones.
