[Immunohistochemical localization of estrogen receptors in vesicovaginal fascia among female patients with stress incontinence--preliminary report].

Using monoclonal antibody assay technique 29 kD domain of estrogen receptor was found and partially quantitated by means of histological score in fibroblasts from vesico-vaginal fascia obtained during surgical procedure in incontinent women. This is an important proof that estrogen supplementation therapy is a reasonable approach in women affected by urinary stress incontinence.
