Total abdominal hysterectomy performed on days 17-18 of the cycle prolonged corpus luteum lifespan, while later hysterectomies did not impact corpus luteum activity.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The influence of total abdominal hysterectomy on the corpus luteum activity in women has been investigated. Urinary pregnane-3α,20α-diol determinations and vaginal smears indicated that hysterectomy performed on day 17–18 of the cycle caused a prolongation of the life span of a normally functioning corpus luteum, whereas hysterectomy performed during the last few days of the menstrual cycle did not affect the activity of the corpus luteum.
