EFFICACY OF ACNE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH OVARIAN HYPERANDROGENISM

Abstract

The aim of the study was to show the effectiveness of treatment of acne with moderate severity in women with ovarian hyperandrogenism. A total of 25 female reproductive voerast patients with moderate acne and ovarian hyperandrogenism who were not planning pregnancy were examined. All patients were examined, which included a consultation with a gynecologist with a gynecological examination, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, a study of the hormonal status, a biochemical blood test, as well as a dermatological examination with the determination of the dermatological index of acne (DIA). After the examination, the patients underwent complex therapy using the external treatment recommended by the dermatovenerologist (skin cleansing, gel with azelaic acid and / or gel with adapalene), as well as the appointment of a combined oral contraceptive (COC) Jes Plus. Based on this study, it can be concluded that complex therapy, including local treatment and taking Jes Plus, is the first choice in the treatment of androgen-dependent dermopathy, manifested by moderate acne, in patients with ovarian hyperandrogenism due to PCOS. Such therapy contributes not only to the formation of a pronounced clinical result, but also causes a low probability of side effects. The administration of COC containing drospirenon and the active form of folate, in the form of the calcium salt levomefolate, allows a favorable effect on the metabolic processes in the body as a whole, and in particular, provides a positive effect on the skin, the cardiovascular system, reduces the risk of systemic and local inflammation, relieving the state of hyperhomocysteinemia, providing prevention of cardiometabolic risks.
