Steroids and endometrial breakthrough bleeding: future directions for research.
Abnormal endometrial bleeding continues to be a significant problem for women using long-acting gestagens and not only reduces the use of these agents, thus restricting the options available to women, but also reduces the quality of their lives. This symposium addressed a range of basic and clinical studies that have tried over the past 3 years to define the problem. Two areas have been identif...
متن کاملOxidative stress, vitamin E and progestin breakthrough bleeding.
Endometrial bleeding problems can be the major reason for discontinuing progestin-only contraception. In this study the endometrial angiogenic response in Norplant users was found to be lower than in women with normal menstrual cycles. These disturbances in angiogenic response may be caused by oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in the endometrium. The aims of this study were to investigate the effec...

I n 1982, more than 20% of women surveyed in a nationally representative sample had discontinued oral contraceptives (OCs) on their own or at the recommendation of their physician due to bleeding or spotting. Sadly, the percentage today has not decreased much. Understandable concern, embarrassment, and annoyance lead these women to abandon OCs. What they often don’t know, though, is that breakt...
متن کاملA functional model for progestogen-induced breakthrough bleeding.
During the past 5 years, a number of important advances have been made in our understanding of the mechanisms of sex steroid-induced breakthrough bleeding (BTB). These observations suggest that superficial endometrial vascular fragility may be the mechanism underlying BTB, and molecular changes in the microvasculature as well as hysteroscopic observations have supported this hypothesis. This pa...
متن کاملOral contraception: properties and side-effects of COCs and POPs
Combined oral contraceptives In the UK combined oral contraceptives (COCs), containing both oestrogen and progestogen, are the most popular method of contraception for women under age 30. The most common oestrogen used is ethinyl estradiol (EE), in doses between 20 and 35μg. Progestogens are classified according to their steroid structure and the timing of their introduction on to the market. T...
