Abstract
Objectives: To compare the pulmonary function tests parameters in follicular phase and luteal phase of menstrual cycle.Methods: 100 healthy medical students of SreeMookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, with regular menstrual cycle were consented for this cross sectional study. Detailed history including height and weight are recorded in a separate form. Pulmonary function tests were done in follicular phase and luteal phase of menstrual cycle using Spiro excel (Medicaid systems, Chandigarh) computerized programme in the research laboratory of Department of Physiology. The parameters taken were FVC(L),FEV1(L), FEV1/FVC(%), PEFR (L/sec) and MVV(L/min). Results: Pulmonary function tests parameters were found to be significantly higher in luteal phase of menstrual cycle compared to follicular phase. Conclusion: The increase in pulmonary function tests parameters in luteal phase could be due to the bronchial relaxation effect of progesterone.
