Metabolic and clinical effects of progestogens
@article{Wiegratz2006MetabolicAC, title={Metabolic and clinical effects of progestogens}, author={Inka Wiegratz and Herbert Kuhl}, journal={The European Journal of Contraception \& Reproductive Health Care}, year={2006}, volume={11}, pages={153 - 161} }
Synthetic progestogens differ not only in their hormonal potency, but also in their spectrum of hormonal activities. Beside their progestogenic and anti-oestrogenic effects, they may exert oestrogenic, androgenic, antiandrogenic, glucocorticoid and/or anti-mineralocorticoid activities. Consequently, progestogens may influence various metabolic parameters and modulate oestrogen-induced alterations in lipid metabolism, haemostasis, and various other factors. Progestogens with androgenic…

Micronized progesterone and dydrogesterone appear to be the safest options, with lower associated cardiovascular, thromboembolic, and breast cancer risks compared with other progestogens, and are the first-choice options for use in ‘special situations,’ such as in women with high-density breast tissue, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and risk factors for venous throm boembolism.

It is hypothesized that switching COCs, even when switching from a high- to a low-risk COC, increases the risk of venous thrombosis, and it is important to identify women at risk of VT and advise them on alternative contraception methods.

It has been amply proven that - even when administered in doses that do not constantly inhibit ovulation - a progestin can still remain effective as a contraceptive by acting at the level of the cervical mucus and, at least in part, of the endometrium.

It is demonstrated that several progestins markedly potentiate the vascular procoagulant effects of thrombin by increasing the availability of membraneThrombin receptors in the smooth muscle, an effect that is most likely due to their glucocorticoid-like activity.

The indication of a lower or a lack of VTE risk associated with the use of progestin-only contraceptives and with transdermal HRT suggests that these therapies may be safer than combination oral contraceptive pills and oral HRT for women in whom oral estrogen therapy is considered contraindicated.
