[Effects and side effects of hormonal contraceptives in the region of the nose, throat, and ear].
The pathomechanism of diseases in the field of oto-rhino-laryngology caused by an hormonal contraceptive therapy are presented on base of a critical literature survey. Complications of oral contraception are proved only for the oral tissue (hyperplastic gingivitis) the larynx and the eustachian tube. Otological (otosclerosis, acute deafness, slowly progressive deafness) and rhinological diseases (Rhinopathia vasomotorica) in women under oral contraception cannot be attributed exclusively to this therapy.
