Ein neues „Antigonadotropin“ in der Behandlung der Pubertas praecox und der Pubertätsgynäkomastie
Danazol showed limited efficacy in treating precocious puberty but demonstrated a marked regression of breast enlargement in pubertal gynecomastia cases.

This paper reports on the use of danazol, a synthetic testosterone-derived steroid with “antigonadotropin” activity, in 4 children with idiopathic sexual precocity (pubertas praecox) and 10 patients with severe pubertal gynecomastia, assessing clinical progression and plasma hormone changes. In sexual precocity, suppression of menstruation and breast enlargement was good, but effects on accelerating longitudinal growth and bone maturation were only minor, and overall gonadotropin-axis suppression was considered insufficient versus other treatments like cyproterone acetate. In most boys with pubertal gynecomastia, breast enlargement regressed markedly within weeks to months, with only limited, generally non-significant changes in LH, FSH, progesterone, estradiol, and a more consistent decrease in testosterone, and no untoward side effects reported at the studied daily doses. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
