[Case report article: ovulation and Diane-35, current perspectives in detection and control of fertility].
This is a case report article describing a patient receiving treatment for alopecia with Diane-35, in whom a recruited dominant follicle and a cumulus oophorus were detected by ultrasound. The current perspectives in the detection and control of fertility are discussed and subjected to critical analysis, with emphasis on some results concerning artificial birth control. The recognition of the ovulatory period through physiological changes, the detection of estrogeno-3-glucuronide (E3G) and the luteinizing hormone (LH) is discussed. These methods increase the possibility of understanding the detection of the fertile phase in women, are simple to use, are not invasive, do not have secondary effects, and are not abortive.
