Sommario

L’iperandrogenismo e le alterazioni ormonali che sostengono i disturbi del ciclo mestruale sembrano, assieme all’obesità ed all’alterato stato insulinico, esporre le pazienti PCOS ad uno stato di ipercoagulabilità. Il rischio di tromboembolismo venoso in queste pazienti sembra coinvolgere l’emostasi secondaria, con un’incidenza che aumenta fino a 2 volte rispetto alla popolazione generale. Tuttavia, i dati epidemiologici, a disposizione, sono derivati o da coorti selezionate o da studi di registro, esponendoli a bias che non possono essere trascurati nell’interpretazione dei risultati. Infine, la letteratura disponibile ad oggi esamina l’uso di terapia estroprogestinica non includendo le formulazioni più recenti.

Abstract

Hyperandrogenism and the hormonal alterations that sustain menstrual cycle disorders appear, together with obesity and altered insulin status, to expose PCOS patients to a hypercoagulative state. This phenomenon, mainly involving secondary haemostasis, increase the risk of venous thromboembolism up to 2 times in PCOS when compared to the general population. However, the epidemiological data available are the result of studies derived from both selected cohorts or registry studies, so producing biases that cannot be overlooked in the interpretation of these results. Finally, to date, literature on the use of contraceptive pill and PCOS does not include the most recent formulations.
