Resumo
Introdução: Os contraceptivos hormonais são uma ferramenta comum ao público
feminino, graças a sua função primaria ser a contracepção. Na contemporaneidade,
existem variados métodos contraceptivos, porém ainda há o desconhecimento por
grande parte dos usuários sobre diversos aspectos dos mesmos, principalmente
quanto aos métodos hormonais, que são aqueles formados a base de formas
sintéticas de estrogênio e progesterona. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos colaterais dos
contraceptivos hormonais no organismo feminino e o contexto histórico relacionado
a esta classe medicamentosa com a evolução da assistência a saúde da mulher no
Brasil. Metodologia: Estudo desenvolvido por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica
realizada no segundo semestre de 2021. As buscas utilizaram como descritores
“structure-activity relationship”, “hormonal contraceptives”, “side effects”, e “women’s
health” por meio das bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo),
Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Google Acadêmico, estatísticas advindas do
Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), leis e livros. Resultados: Os
dados analisados evidenciaram que o uso de anticoncepcionais hormonais podem
gerar efeitos colaterais e adversos ao organismo da mulher assim como podem
gerar benefícios em seu uso para o tratamento de doenças oriundas de disfunções
hormonais. A análise da evolução histórica da assistência à saúde da mulher
atrelada à evolução do uso de métodos contraceptivos demonstrou a relação que
estes possuem com alterações demográficas na sociedade brasileira. Discussão:
Relacionou-se a influência do uso de contraceptivos hormonais com modificações
em índices demográficos e sua relação com a assistência a saúde da mulher no
Brasil. Também se analisou o risco benefício de sua terapia, relacionando seus
pontos positivos com o possível surgimento de efeitos colaterais e adversos.
Considerações finais: Os contraceptivos hormonais são métodos passíveis de
gerar efeitos colaterais e adversos, porém seu uso também pode gerar benefícios
como a contracepção e o tratamento de doenças oriundas de disfunção hormonal.
Vias não hormonais também podem ser consideradas para se evitar as casualidades
desta classe medicamentosa, após uma análise de risco e custo beneficio.
Introduction: Hormonal contraceptives are a common tool for the female audience, thanks to their primary function being contraception. Currently, there are several contraceptive methods, but there is still a lack of knowledge by most users about several aspects of them, especially regarding hormonal methods, which are those based on synthetic forms of estrogen and progesterone. Objective: To analyze the side effects of hormonal contraceptives in the female body and the historical context related to this drug class with the evolution of women's health care in Brazil. Methodology: Study developed through a literature review carried out in the second half of 2021. The searches used as descriptors "structure-activity relationship", "hormonal contraceptives", "side effects", and "women's health” through the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Virtual Health Library (BVS), Academic Google, statistics from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), laws and books. Results: The data analyzed showed that the use of hormonal contraceptives can generate side and adverse effects to the woman's body, as well as generating benefits in their use for the treatment of diseases arising from hormonal dysfunctions. The analysis of the historical evolution of women's health care linked to the evolution of the use of contraceptive methods demonstrated the relationship they have with demographic changes in Brazilian society. Discussion: The influence of the use of hormonal contraceptives was related to changes in demographic indexes and its relationship with women's health care in Brazil. The risk-benefit of their therapy was also analyzed, relating its positive points to the possible emergence of side and adverse effects. Final considerations: Hormonal contraceptives are methods likely to generate side and adverse effects, but their use can also generate benefits such as contraception and the treatment of diseases arising from hormonal dysfunction. Non-hormonal routes can also be considered to avoid the casualties of this drug class, after a risk and cost-benefit analysis.
