Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Adolescents: Treatment with Combined Oral Contraceptive Pills is Effective Even in Hospitalized Patients with Bleeding Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conclusions: Adolescents are good responders to medical treatment despite the presence of bleeding disorders, probably due to the positive coagulative effect of the estrogen component of OCs on platelets and clotting factors. Continuation of OC will be a problem in adolescent girls, because there are some misconceptions about OC in the Turkish population, such as that OC can cause infertility or hormonal imbalance. Appropriate counselling is necessary to overcome this difficulty. We believe that the presence of an Adolescent Gynecology Unit affected the success of our treatment.
