Carpal tunnel syndrome ascribed to low-dose combined oral contraceptive pills

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent compressive focal mononeuropathy brought on by median nerve compression, and common manifestations include pain in the wrist joint, decreased sensations along the distribution of the median nerve, a reduction in two-point discrimination, nighttime awakening, and, in more advanced stages, thenar muscle wasting and weakening. CTS, although common, yet underreported adverse effects of oral contraceptives. We report a case of 21-year-old female who developed CTS after using low-dose combined oral contraceptive pills for irregular cycles with polycystic ovary disease.
