Pákozdy K, Sipos AG, Bombicz M, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for assessing the value of vaginal strain elastography in women with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA). Participants in the study were women with or without VVA and underwent vaginal cytology and vaginal wall elastography. According to this prospective study, 10 women were diagnosed with VVA and 20 had no cytological signs of vaginal atrophy (age-range 38-79 y). In women with vaginal atrophy, measured by EI, vaginal elasticity is significantly decreased. The findings indicate that in the diagnosis of vaginal atrophy, strain elastography may be useful.
