Menstrual cycle phases and dosage of synthetic hormonal contraceptives influence diurnal rhythm characteristics of distal skin temperature

In conclusion, monophasic OC cause changes in diurnal DST rhythm, similar to those observed in the luteal phase of females with menstrual cycles, suggesting that synthetic progestins act in a similar manner on skin thermoregulation as progesterone does.PMID:38634452 | DOI:10.1080/07420528.2024.2342945
