- Hormone Imbalance: They are also used to balance hormones in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hirsutism, which can cause unwanted hair growth and irregular periods.
- Acne: Cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol are sometimes prescribed to manage severe acne in women, especially when other treatments haven't been effective.
