Imminent abortion, habitual abortion and threatened premature labor, all constitute difficult clinical problems. Those cases require on every occasion a diagnosis as acurate as possible, and unfortunately our present methods of biochemical determinations only represent a means to evaluate placental function. On those cases where a faulty placental function is detected thru the tests presently available, the authors recommend the utilization of a placentotropic substance, Gestanon, that is capable to stimulate and normalize the placental function, a is demostrated by the statistical results published in the international medical bibliography.
The numerous pregnancies that occur as early as the first cycle after the discontinuation of an oral contraceptive prove that in general ovulation reappears immediately and that after a period of "rest" more or less prolonged the ovaries reasume their normal function very rapidly. However, in less than 1% of the cases the discontinuation of oral contrecption is followed by anovulation or even amenorrhea. The authors try to find an explanation to this over supression syndrome and review the different treatments that have been proposed in the bibliography, but keeping in mind that within a year 14% of the anovulations and 5% of the amenorrbeas will have disappeared spontaneously.
The present trends in the utilization of hormones in the treatment of sterility are reviewed, special reference being made to the utilization of gonadotrophins, hypothalamic hormones and gonadal hormones as well as other substances (clomiphene, epimestrol, cyclophenyl) that are also utilized in this type of treatments.
