title: Live birth after treatment of severe adenomyosis with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.
abstract: A patient with a 10-year history of secondary infertility underwent GnRH-a therapy with LA for 5 months to control symptoms of severe adenomyosis and to avoid an unwanted hysterectomy. Shortly after cessation of treatment, the patient conceived. A healthy male was delivered at term by cesarean section, which makes this the first report of a live birth after treatment of severe adenomyosis with a GnRH-a.
