Features: Diagnosis criteria (needs 2/3)
• Subfertility and infertility • infrequent or no ovulation (usually manifested as
• Menstrual disturbances:
infrequent or no menstruation)
oligomenorrhoea and amenorrhoea • clinical and/or biochemical signs of
• Hirsutism, acne (due to hyperandrogenism (such as hirsutism, acne, or
hyperandrogenism) elevated levels of total or free testosterone)

• Hyperinsulinaemia
the presence of ≥ 12 follicles (measuring 2-9 mm
• Acanthosis nigricans (due to insulin in diameter) in one or both ovaries and/or
resistance)
increased ovarian volume > 10 cm³)

Investigations
• pelvic ultrasound: multiple cysts on the
ovaries

eflornithine, spironolactone, flutamide and
finasteride may be used under specialist
supervision https://www.everydayhealth.com/pcos/

Methods UKMEC
• Family planning
• UKMEC 1: No restriction to use

• Pills: COCP/POP • UKMEC 3: Risks > Benefits
• IUD: Copper coil/IUS
• UKMEC 4: Contraindicated
• Injection/Implant: Depo-Provera
• Surgery: Sterilisation
• Emergency contraception Side effects
COCP • Unscheduled bleeding, better after 3m
• Small increased breast/cervical ca risk
⚬ reduced endometrial/ovarian/colon ca risk
• Small increased risk of VTE/MI/stroke
• Oestrogen and Progesterone
• Licensed up to 50 y/o • Breast pain/tenderness/mood changes
• Hypertension (HTN)
Mechanism of action
• Prevents ovulation Contraindications
• Migraine with aura
• Thicken cervical mucus
• Inhibits endometrial proliferation • Uncontrolled HTN
• Vascular disease
• Hx of VTE
Regime
• SLE
• 21d, 7d off • Smoking >15/day + >30 y/o
• Continuous • Breast feeding
⚬ UKMEC 4 before 6 weeks postpartum
⚬ UKMEC 2 after 6 weeks postpartum COCP
Key rules
• Works instantly if started up to day 5. Taken OD. Missed pills (whilst on 21d on, 7d off regime)
• After this it takes 7d of consistent pill taking to start • Always take the most recent missed pill ASAP
⚬ If only 1 pill missed, then that’s it!
working
⚬ Theoretically once you do this you will be • If >1 pill missed additional contraception needed
protected for the next 7 days whilst you consistently take 7 days of the pill
• Day 1-7
• Missed pill = > 24hrs late = >48hrs since last pill
• Missed 1 pill = 48 - 72hrs from last pill ⚬ Need emergency contraception (if UPSI)
• Day 8-14
• Missed >1 pill = >72hrs from last pill ⚬ No emergency contraception needed
• A day of vomiting/diarrhoea is considered a missed
pill day • Day 15-21
⚬ No emergency contraception needed
⚬ Skip pill free period, start next pack of pills COCP vs POP IUD vs IUS
• POP missed pill is >12hrs late (vs 24hrs for COCP) • IUD contra-indicated in Wilson’s
• POP has more unpredictable bleeding effects • IUD associated with irregular/heavy bleeding whilst
IUS can reduce this and eventually stop this
• Usually used when COCP contraindicated • IUD usually lasts longer
• PID risk
Injection vs Implant
Emergency
• Implant lasts longer than injection (yrs vs months)
• Levonorgestrel - within 72 hrs of UPSI
• Implant usually used in needle phobic pts • Ulipristal - within 120 hrs of UPSI
• Implant does not effect fertility when stopped
⚬ Injection can effect this up to year after stopping ⚬ Avoid in severe asthma
⚬ Breastfeeding avoided for 1w after
• Injection associated with osteoporosis ⚬ Wait 5 days before taking COCP/POP
• Copper coil - within 5 d of UPSI, or within 5 d of the
estimated date of ovulation• ZerotoFinals
• Nice CKS
