Overview
Ethinylestradiol + drospirenone is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) medication consisting of a synthetic estrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a fourth-generation progestin (drospirenone). Drospirenone is a spironolactone analogue that possesses unique anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic properties, which help to counteract estrogen-related water retention and treat androgen-mediated symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. In the context of research conducted by Ege University, this combination is being specifically evaluated for its impact on psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression, in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The treatment aims to regulate hormonal imbalances and menstrual cycles while the study monitors changes in mental health outcomes over a six-month period.
