Hirsutism - Treatment
|
Treatment
|
| Treatment for persistent anovulation is important
to prevent potentially serious complications: infertility, diabetes,
hypertension, and heart disease. Correcting hirsutism, acne, and amenorrhea
is a secondary goal. Unless they wish to become pregnant (in which case these patients should be referred to a gynecologic specialist for ovulation induction), women with persistent anovulation or idiopathic hirsutism may be given low-dose combination oral contraceptives. Other pharmacologic options include medroxyprogesterone acetate, antiandrogens, glucocorticoids, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, and insulin-sensitizing agents. As with all medications, practitioners must consider potential adverse effects and high costs before prescribing. Weight loss is an essential component of therapy, both in resolving symptoms and preventing complications. |
