Abstract

Previous studies showed an increased prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in women, a sex-related difference in the clinical course, a worsening of disease symptoms preceding the onset of menses and favourable effect of pregnancy n the relapse rate. We firstly examined MS patients (n=76) to characterize the menstrual cycle pattern, the presence of hyperandrogenism linical signs and of premenstrual symptoms and the use of oral contraception, with respect to normal subjects (n=%=).
