| Abstract: | The authors compared the therapeutic efficacy of oestrogen-progestogen combinations with pure progestagen in the urgent treatment of adolescent metrorrhagia. Two groups of adolescents were studied whose haemorrhages were attributed exclusively to disfunction. Every medicine was evaluated as to: 1) effectiveness in completely spotting haemorrhage, 2) any persistence of bleeding, 3) side effects. The therapy was given during 2 consecutive menstrual cycles. Results following treatment with oestrogen-progestogen combinations were favourable, even though side effects were more noticeable. |
