Abstract

Objective: The Present Study was undertaken to know the periodical variation of leukocyte count in different phase of menstrual cycle.

Material and Methods: A total of 38 healthy female in the age group of 16-28 years with regular cycles of 28±2 days duration were studied.

Result: There was significant increase in total leukocytes count during secretory phase. In differential leukocytes count, there was a significant increase in the Neutrophil count during secretory phase, lymphocyte was increased in menstrual and secretory phase, monocyte count more on proliferative phase but show no significance, In Eosinophil count there was not much changes in all the three phases.

Conclusion: This study was attempted to determine the normal variation in the leucocytes count during the different phase of menstrual cycle which may help in understanding various disorders.

Keywords: Menstrual cycle, leukocytes count, secretory phase, periodicity.
