RESUMO
A retrospective analysis of 21 hirsute women seen at a gynecological endocrine clinic revealed a high incidence of infertility, menstrual irregulaties and abnormal androgen profile. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was the underlying abnormality in the majority of cases. Cyproterone acetate (CPA) with ethinyl oestradiol in a reverse sequential regime was more effective and better tolerated but much more expensive than the combination of spironolactone and the oral contraceptive pill (OCP).
