Randomized Control Trial to Compare Effects of Ultra-Low Dose (Ethinylestradiol 20 μg or 15 μg) With Low Dose (Ethinylestradiol 30 μg) Hormonal Pills on Lipid Discordance in Non-Obese PCOS Women

Abstract

(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol Sci 2023;66:572–583 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently treated using low-dose hormonal pills with ethinylestradiol (EE) 35 μg combined with progestins for cycle control. Use of these combined oral contraceptives has been associated with metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and a risk of cardiovascular events for women with metabolic disorders.
