[The subjective side-effects of the pill, their etiology and therapy].

A theoretical explanation for certain pill side effects and suggested therapy are presented. 1) On the vegetative level (level 1) the individual is either a ps-tropic-type if he tends to overreact in the parasympathetic direction or a s-tropic-type if he tends to overreact in the sympathetic direction. 2) On the antihistamine level (level 2) people exhibit rhythmic changes. 3) The symphysenschmerzsyndrome or SSS (symphysis-pain-syndrome) can be considered the best current indicator of neurovegetative disturbances. When the pill causes SSS it may be due to the estrogen acting as a histamine or to the progesterone acting as an antihistamine. In 4 years of studies practically all the authors patients responded to an s-tropic medication (Bellapau-buccal 6 X 1-2 drops/day). Over the long term however a considerable proportion were not helped but responded to a ps-tropic drug (Dihygroton-buccal or Puroserpin buccal 6 X 2-3 drop/day). 9 theoretical yet untested explanations for these paradoxical results are suggested.
