Abstract:
The authors discuss the usefulness of GnRH analogues inducing, through pituitary desensitization, a transient block of gonadal steroidogenesis--before hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomas. In patients with severe anemia these drugs proved to be very effective in improving the haematologic parameters; they also cause a significant reduction of uterine volume, thus allowing, in selected cases, vaginal hysterectomy in selected cases.
