The mineral density of skeletal bones for menstrual cycle functional disorders

Mineral density (MD) of skeletal bones for menstrual cycle disorders was determined using a roentgen double-energy bone densitometer of «General Electric Medical Systems/Lunar» firm (DPX series, NT model) with enCore™2002 program. MD was measured in the whole skeleton, in the spine and the proximal thirds of femurs. Skeletal mineral mass did not change in case of proiomenorrhea, oligohypomenorrhea, hypomenorrhea and polymenorrhea. The minimal deficit of minerals accounting for 6 % was revealed for hypermenorrhea. Demineralization was as follows: 17% for opsoproiomenorrhea, 19% for opsooligomenorrhea, 21% for opsomenorrhea, 25% for oligomenorrhea and 28% for stanomenorrhea. That kind of mineral deficit was found for the same body height, area and mass
