Treatment
One possible treatment is with anastrozole. Histrelin acetate (Supprelin LA), Triptorelin or Leuprolide, any GnRH agonists, may also be used. Non-continuous usage of GnRH agonists stimulates the pituitary gland to release Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). However, when used regularly, GnRH agonists cause a decreased release of FSH and LH. GnRH produced by the hypothalamus is pulsatile, allowing for a physiologic release of FSH and LH.
