Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist plus “add-back” hormone replacement therapy for treatment of endometriosis: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial
This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial investigated the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist combined with hormone replacement therapy compared to placebo for endometriosis treatment.
