    PRINCIPLE

    It is a staining technique which makes it possible to obtain excellent results in the hormonal evaluation of vaginal cytology. Sex hormones cause characteristic changes in the vaginal epithelium during the course of the menstrual cycle.

    The Shorr’s stain makes it possible to distinguish keratinised cells (eosinophils) from intermediate and parabasal cells (basophils). The ratio of eosinophils to basophils makes it possible to evaluate the effects of follicle-stimulating hormone and the corpus luteum. Keratinised eosinophils increase under the hormonal action of follicle-stimulating hormone, while the non-keratinised cells increase under the action of the corpus luteum. The nuclei are stained using Haematoxylin.

    It also makes it possible to clearly distinguish blood cells present (leukocytes and red blood cells), and bacteria or sperm cells.
