A hypersexual paraphilic patient treated with leuprolide acetate: a single case report.
This article presents the case of a young adult paraphilic patient with no comorbid psychiatric or medical pathology. This patient's history is notable for hypersexuality and exhibitionistic behaviors. He was treated with the Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonist leuprolide acetate. Shortly after he commenced treatment, his sexual drive and his urge to expose himself diminished significantly. Serial penile plethysmograph and hormonal profile data will also be reviewed.
