[The use of Ovestin to overcome the side effects of treatment with GnRH agonists (Zoladex)].
The LHRH analogues are used very much in gynecological practice, mostly for a long treatment periods. The menopausal side effects occur often and causes the patients to withdraw from treatment. The GnRh analogues are used for the treatment of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, for breast cancer, and pre and post operatively as hormonal therapy for endometrial cancer. 12 patients were given combined vaginal Ovestin and GnRh analogues (Zoladex). Another 12 patients were taking GnRh analogues alone without Ovestin creme, and this group searched as a control group. The group with the Ovestin had less side effects than the control group. This difference was statistically significant about the cervicovaginal symptoms (p less than 0.01). The treatment with vaginal estrogenes can better and improve the tolerance to therapy with GnRh analogues.
