Between 1983 and 1986, the study enrolled 40 patients with external genital endometriosis and treated them with the LHRH agonist buserelin to achieve ovarian suppression for 6 months at 900–1,800 µg/day. Liver and kidney function and lipid metabolism were assessed prior to treatment and at regular intervals during therapy, alongside gynecological findings, and no deviations from normal ranges were reported. The general side effects observed were generally attributed to buserelin-induced relative estrogen deficiency, and treatment efficacy was demonstrated by control pelviscopy. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates metabolic effects and general side effects of buserelin during medical treatment of external genital endometriosis.

Abstract

Between 1983 and 1986 40 patients were treated for external genital endometriosis with the LHRH agonist buserelin. Ovarian suppression was achieved for a period of six months with a dose of 900 to 1,800 mcg per day. In addition to gynecological findings, liver and kidney function and lipid metabolism were checked prior to treatment and at regular intervals during treatment. No deviations from normal ranges were found. The general side effects observed during treatment were as a rule attributable to the buserelin-induced relative estrogen deficiency. The efficacy of the medication in the treatment of endometriosis was demonstrated by control pelviscopy. Since no undesirable metabolic side effects have so far been observed with buserelin, it may be considered an effective new alternative treatment for endometriosis.

Die ovarielle Suppression erfolgte über einen Zeitraum von 6 Monaten mit einer Dosis von 900 bis 1800 meg täglich. Prätherapeutisch sowie in regelmäßigen Abständen unter der Therapie wurden neben dem gynäkologischen Befund die Leberund Nieren-Funktion sowie der Fettstoffwechsel überprüft. Dabei konnten keine Abweichungen vom Normalbereich beobachtet werden. Die unter der Behandlung festgestellten allgemeinen Nebenwirkungen ließen sich in der Regel auf den Buserelin-induzierten relativen Östrogenmangel zurückführen. Die Wirksamkeit der Substanz in der Endometriosebehandlung wurde durch KontrollPelviskopie nachgewiesen. Damit stellt Buserelin eine neue effektive Alternative in der medikamentösen Behandlung der Endometriose dar, bei der bisher keine unerwünschten Stoffwechselnebenwirkungen beobachtet werden konnten.
