Contraception

Back to decision-making tree Print last updated on 04/11/2020

When there is no need for contraception, it is not recommended to prescribe an oestrogen-progestin combination with the aim of treating HS.

In other cases, when a female patient requests contraception, a gynaecologist should be consulted.

In the case of menstrual-regulated flare of HS and/or suspicion of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) associated with HS, a gynecological or endocrinological opinion will be proposed.
