Overview

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.

A systematic search by Dr Eva V. Vodegel MD and team has revealed that estrogen therapy has a positive effect on vaginal wound healing. However future studies are required to determine whether oestrogen therapy has the potential to improve surgical outcomes.
