Estrogen plays crucial role in vaginal wound healing
Striking evidence from animal studies dating back to 1962 that estrogens play a crucial role in cutaneous wound healing and repair is reported. Characteristic of both chronic wounds and acute wounds that fail to heal are excessive leukocytosis and reduced matrix deposition. Estrogen is a major regulator of wound repair that can reverse age-related impaired wound healing in humans.
