Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of drospirenone/ethinylestradiol(Ⅱ)(pills for contraception and use for the treatment of hyperandrogenenism) on serum anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH) level in Chinese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Methods Totally 74 PCOS patients who were admitted to the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology,Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University,China from August 2020 to April 2021 were enrolled in this study. The serum AMH,sex hormones,liver and kidney function were measured before and after the use of drospirenone/ethinylestradiol tablets (Ⅱ). The patients were divided into three groups according to the duration of taking pills: group A(n=16) for 3 cycles,group B (n=28) for 4-6 cycles and group C(n=30) for more than 6 cycles. Results The median serum AMH level after treatment (5.80 ng/mL) was significant lower than that before treatment (9.17 ng/mL) (P<0.001). The median change of AMH level before and after the use of drospirenone/ethinylestradiol tablets(Ⅱ) was 2.53 ng/mL. The median serum AMH were 9.01 ng/mL,7.79 ng/mL and 10.19 ng/mL before treatment and 7.01 ng/mL,5.06 ng/mL and 6.70 ng/mL after treatment in group A,group B and group C,respectively. The serum AMH was decreased after treatment in all groups. Conclusion Taking drospirenone and ethinylestradiol II for 3 cycles or more could reduce the serum AMH level in PCOS patients.
