GNRH therapy in hypothalamic primary amenorrhea.
Pulsatile administration of GnRH appears to be the most rational and physiological treatment of infertility in patients affected by hypothalamic amenorrhea. The authors conclude that the results obtained with this method of treatment (all patients became pregnant) suggest that the choice of pulsatile GnRH therapy is an effective and practical method for induction of ovulation.
