Objectives: This study is performed to recognize the relationship between atrophic vaginitis and stress that have an affect on autonomic nervous system.
Methods: We studied 47 patients who visited Kangnam Kyunghee Korean Hospital Medical Examination Center from November, 2013 to June, 2014. They were devided into two groups, atrophic vaginitis group (AV, n=18) and non-atrophic vaginitis group (NAV, n=29). We compared the result of HRV between the two groups.
Results: The mean of The standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean squared difference of successive NNs (RMSSD) in AV group was lower than NAV group, but there was no significant difference between
the two groups. Total power (TP), low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) of AV group was significantly lower than NAV group. There was no significant difference in high frequency (HF).
Conclusions: Women with atrophic vaginitis is expected to have low adaptive capacity against stress.
