ABSTRACT
PIP: Administration of oral contraceptives (OCs) is followed by the development of pathological changes in the vascular wall and in coagulation. 77 women who had used OCs were examined by the Ethanol gelification test (EGT) to reveal eventual marks of pathological intravascular coagulation. The authors found a positive correlation in 8 cases (10.4%). In a control group of 64 female blood doners who did not use OCs, no woman had a positive EGT test. In the group with a positive EGT, pain occurred in the calves more frequently and 2 women had thrombophlebitis. (author's modified)^ieng
