The Effect of Enovid, a Synthetic 19‐Nor‐Steroid (Norethynodrel) on Post‐Menopausal Vaginal and Uterine Mucosa

Abstract
A synthetic progestogenic steroid (Enovid) was tried on 29 women who had utero-vaginal prolapse. Proliferation and sometimes also secretion in the endometrium and a thick vaginal mucosa, rich in glycogen, were observed. The response varied from one individual to another. A slight stimulation of the endometrium and vaginal mucosa was noted in some women who had received a placebo.
