It has been reported that urticaria may be associated with some conditions characterized by sex hormone changes. The case presented concerns a 19-year-old patient who had severe symptoms of chronic urticaria for 3 years, concomitant with an irregular menstrual cycle and functional ovarian cysts. After a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy the patient was treated with hormonal contraceptives. After 3 weeks the symptoms of urticaria withdrew. The patient continues to receive oral contraceptive treatment, has regular menstruation and shows no symptoms of urticaria. A diagnosis with an urticaria origin should take into consideration any changes in hormone balance as one of the possible reasons for the disease. In such cases, treatment with sex hormones may positively influence the course of the illness.
据报道，荨麻疹可能与某些以性激素变化为特征的疾病有关。本文报道的病例为一名 19 岁患者，该患者患有慢性荨麻疹 3 年，伴有月经周期不规则和功能性卵巢囊肿。在进行腹腔镜卵巢囊肿切除术之后，该患者接受了激素避孕药治疗。3 周后，荨麻疹症状消退。该患者继续接受口服避孕药治疗，月经规律，无荨麻疹症状。具有荨麻疹病因的诊断应考虑到激素平衡的任何变化，作为疾病的可能原因之一。在这种情况下，性激素治疗可能对疾病的病程产生积极影响。
