(A) Immunohistochemical staining of oestrogen receptor-α (A,B), oestrogen receptor-β (C,D), progesterone receptor (E,F), androgen receptor (G,H) of the vaginal wall in each group. (Control group: post-menopausal women untreated with vaginal premarin cream before surgery Premarin group: postmenopausal women used vaginal premarin cream at least 2 weeks preoperatively). Red arrows in (F) show the higher amount of PR positively stained cells (brown color) compared to the biopsy from control (E). (B) Immunohistochemistry quantification as percent of (A) oestrogen receptor-α (B) oestrogen receptor-β (C) progesterone receptor (D) androgen receptor positive cells in the vaginal wall between the control and intervention groups. *p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
