Reproductive Tract Bleeding in Adolescent and Young Adult Females with Inherited Bleeding Disorders: An Underappreciated Problem
2022, Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Numerous options are available to treat persistent breakthrough bleeding, 1 of which is 5 mg of norethindrone acetate once daily.31,63 Due to the conversion of norethindrone to ethinyl estradiol, there is a concern for venous thromboembolism (VTE); however, data evaluating VTE risk with higher doses (2.5-15 mg) remain limited and inconclusive.64-66 For patients with recurrent hemorrhagic ovarian cysts or hemoperitoneum, ovulation suppression using CHCs is recommended when pregnancy is not desired.67,68
