BACKGROUND: Vaginal administration of progesterone during infertility treatment has therapeutic advantages over oral administration. However, the reasons for this are poorly defined, To demonstrate a preferential vagina-to-uterus distribution of substances, we investigated cold distribution from vagina to the uterus and rectum, METHOD: In 10 postmenopausal women, thermoprobes were inserted into the uterine cavity and in the rectum at 9 cm from the anus; temperatures were subsequently measured during 10 min flushing of vagina with cold saline, RESULTS: After 10 min, temperature decreased as follows: uterus, tubal angle: -0.22 +/- 0.07 degreesC, 10 (mean a SEM, n); uterus, middle cavity: -1.26 +/- 0.34 degreesC, 9; rectum,
