  • Title: The effect of LHRH agonist therapy in the treatment of endometriosis (English experience).
    Author: Jelley RY, Magill PJ.
    Journal: Prog Clin Biol Res; 1986; 225():227-38. PubMed ID: 3097668.
    Abstract:
    The preliminary findings of a comparative study of buserelin and danazol in the treatment of endometriosis are presented. Eighty patients with laparoscopically proven symptomatic endometriosis have been allocated at random to open treatment with intra-nasal buserelin or oral danazol. Forty-five patients have been assessed after completion of seven months treatment. Changes in endometriotic lesions have been examined by second laparoscopy and scored according to a modification of the criteria of the American Fertility Society (AFS). Both treatments were associated with reductions in modified AFS scores reflecting partial resolution of the condition. Adverse effects were reported with the use of both drugs, but appeared to be more extensive during therapy with danazol. Further evaluation and post treatment follow up are required.
