Comparison of corticoid substitution versus combined oral contraception administration in the treatment of non-classic adrenal hyperplasia: A prospective study

Abstract

The clinical symptoms of non-classic adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) are the same as those in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of our study was to compare conventional corticoid treatment of NCAH with the effect of combined oral contraception (COC) administration (used in treatment of PCOS) on clinical and laboratory parameters of NCAH.
