Correlation of sexual desire with sexual hormone binding globulin and free androgen index in women using combined contraceptives

CONCLUSIONS: A minority of women using HCs with EE might experience a decreased sexual desire. This was not observed in women on HCs containing E2V, 17 E2, or E4. To avoid HC discontinuation, due to sexual desire reduction, HCs having minor antiandrogenic effects could be taken into consideration.PMID:38588444 | DOI:10.1080/13625187.2024.2332302
