    Abstract:
    GnRH agonists, applied for a long period of time or as depot forms, lead to blocking of gonadotropin and ovarian steroid synthesis. We used their property to induce amenorrhea for treating menorrhagic and menometrorrhagic bleeding in adolescence caused by inborn aplastic and hypoplastic anaemia. In patients with uterine bleeding during the first regular menstrual period or recurring during menstrual periods Zoladex (depot GnRH agonist) has been applied, resulting in stop of bleeding in 2 to 4 days. The drug-induced amenorrhea provides the possibility for physiologic restoring of hemoglobin levels, improvement of therapeutic results from adjuvant antianaemic therapy. Thus a more favourable basis for treating of the main disorder is being created. When surgery is indicated, GnRH agonists provide the opportunity for planning of operating management or for laser ablation of endometrium.
