[Oral contraceptives increase deep venous thrombosis in smoking women].

There is consistent evidence that the use of oral contraceptives and is associated with increased risk of deep vein thrombosis. The study objective was to assess age specific incidence of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in women 20 to 50 years of age associated with the use of oral contraceptives, and smoking habit. A case-control study of vein thrombosis was conducted in National Heart Hospital in Sofia. The study consists of studies for vascular events (peripheral vascular disease) during hormonal therapy. We found that cigarette smoking aggravates venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism the in women using oral contraceptives, v. The effect of smoking alone on venous tromboembolism was not found significant. Most probably different factors that increase the incidence of vascular narrowing or occlusion might explain the association between deep venous thrombosis, complicated pulmonary thromboembolism oral contraceptives use and smoking in women in pre-menopausal age.
