title: [Treatment of dysfunctional metrorrhagia with GnRH analogs].
abstract: Thirty patients diagnosed as affected by dysfunctional metrorrhagia were treated with goserelin in a registered formulation of 3.6 mg injected subcutaneously into the anterior abdominal wall. These patients suffered from hypochromic anemia secondary to metrorrhagia with asthenic symptoms. After six months' treatment there was a significant improvement in hemocrasia and symptoms resolved without collateral effects requiring the suspension of treatment. The 10 patients who subsequently underwent surgery were in excellent condition and did not require blood transfusions.
