Abstract

The Authors report their experience with the use of GnRH analogue (Goserelin) in 35 women with abnormal uterine bleeding due to low-risk hyperplasia of the endometrium. A hysteroscopic and histopathological follow-up was performed at 2 months and 6 months after treatment. The results show a significantly effectiveness of Goserelin in treating dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
