摘要
This study was designed to compare the results of treatment with, firstly, exogenous gonadotrophins, with (57 cycles) and without (65 cycles) pretreatment with a superactive analogue of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and, secondly, pure follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (50 cycles) with those of human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) (72 cycles) in 46 women with clomiphene-citrate-resistant anovulation associated with polycystic ovaries. Patients randomly allocated to the analogue group received buserelin (Suprefact, Hoechst, UK, Ltd, Hounslow, Middlesex), 800 /μg/day by nasal insufflation and when hypogonadism was achieved, patients were again randomly allocated for ovarian stimulation with either FSH or HMG. Controls received FSH or HMG alone. Patients pretreated with the analogue had similar pregnancy and ovulation rates, needed larger doses and more days of gonadotrophin therapy and had more ovarian overstimulation than those receiving no pretreatment. The role of superactive LHRH analogues for induction of a single ovulation for in-vivo fertilization is thus uncertain. Pure FSH had no advantages over HMG, the LH content of HMG having no deleterious effect on the ovary. © 1990 Oxford University Press.
