In a small praxis/ambulance study we evaluated data of 200 women with chronical recurrent cervical infections and with a cervix dysplasia (CIN 1, CIN 2). who got after the primary therapy a treatment with vitamin D vaginal suppositories (12.500 IU, 3 nights a week, for 6 weeks). We found that - when compared with the lactobacillus vaginal suppositories - the high dose vitamin D vaginal treatment might be more effective. Vitamin D showed very good anti-inflammatory effects. In the survey after six weeks therapy 79% of the women had “less vaginal problems,” “less discharge” and “less problems with the sexual intercourse.” Objectively after six weeks therapy only 7% of the patients still had bacterial and/or fungal vaginal infections that required a treatment. We found that vitamin D is reabsorbed by the vaginal mucosa, but the reabsorption may be individually very different. In the CIN 1 group we found six weeks after treatment good antidysplastic effects, in the CIN 2 group we often found no or only temporary antidysplastic effects. So this vaginal vitamin D treatment method might be an option for the therapy and prevention of chronical cervical infections and maybe of a cervic dysplasia CIN 1 (good antiinflammatory effects, antidysplastic effects). This small study is not representative. We need much bigger studies with much more dates and with a longer follow up. Caution: At the moment we do not know, if the vaginal vitamin D treatment with 12500 IE is possible in pregnancy. We have no experience. Therefore we recommend an effective contraception during the application.

After the age of 55 almost every third woman suffers from conditions of the incapability to retain urine when the intra-abdominal pressure is raised by different causes. So called stress incontinence. It’ s caused by a predisposition in the family, weakness of the tissue, physical strain, deficiency in the metabolism, especially an increasing local estrogen deficiency and a local and systemic vitamin D deficiency. Patients: We evaluated the data of 60 meno- and postmenopausal female patients with a stress incontinence (SIC). All had a SIC in spite of a former local estriol treatment with a treatment of OeKolp® forte (= 0.5 mg estriol/ov), 3 times a week, for 6 weeks and in spite of a regular pelvic floor exercise for 6 weeks in the morning and in the evening, according to the protocol. Thirty were in stage I SIC and 30 were in stage II SIC. Method: We evaluated vitamin-D-levels in serum of our 60 postmenopausal women. Only 20% of this group had good vitamin D-levels. The medical intervention combined estriol (0.5 mg) together with high dosed vitamin D (12.500 I.U.) locally 3 times a week for a period of 6 weeks. The patients also had the instruction to continue their daily exercises in pelvic floor (morning and evening, due to their protocol). After six weeks of treatment the vitamin D level in serum was defined and correlated to the patients condition (symptomatic of stress incontinence, protocol of micturitions, Pad-test). Results: About one-third of women from our test assigned to be now capable of retaining urine. More than one-third of our patients cleared a profit of treatment. They reported mimimum regression about 25% of volume of incontinence. Therefore more than 2-third of our women being incapable of retaining urine improved their body conditions by using a combination of locally administered etriol and high dosed vitamin D. Conclusion: Stress incontinence (being incapable of retaining urine when the intra-abdominal pressure arises) in lower and middle grade, improves their body conditions under a combination of local administered estriol and vitamin D. This small study is not representative. We need much bigger studies with much more dates and with a follow up.
