Medical Research Breakthroughs and Polycystic ovary syndrome
Better quality of life for women on continous OCP's: It has been suggested that continuous OCPs may be more effective
than the standard 28 day birth control pills, in suppressing the
ovaries. The cyclic pill is taken for 28 days, in which the hormonal
pill is taken for 21 days and a placebo such as an iron pill is given
for the remaining seven days. These pills mimic the normal menstrual
cycle in women, but studies have now shown that women on continuous
oral contraceptives have a better quality of life. Not only did these
women report a significant decrease in moderate to heavy bleeding days
but there was also a decline in the blood and urine estrogen levels,
total ovarian volume and lead follicle size. Another recorded benefit
was an improvement in pain and behavioural changes as compared to women
on cyclical pills. Continuous pills are especially beneficial in
treating chronic medical conditions like polycystic ovarian disease,
endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, acne and hirsutism, where
continuous and additional ovarian suppression is required. The only
downside was the increased incidence of breakthrough bleeding and
spotting, apart from which no other side effects were noticed.
