“…Continuous exposure to GnRH agonists results in desensitization or downregulation of GnRH receptors with a resultant reduction in circulating serum gonadotropin levels and inhibition of ovarian hormone production. The medical treatment of endometriosis with a GnRH agonist has been shown to reduce both the observable number of endometrial implants and the frequency and severity of associated pain [4,5] . Thus, hypoestrogenemia induced by the GnRH agonist accounts for its major effect.…”

“…O grande inconveniente para o uso do GnRHa no tratamento da dor associada a endometriose certamente é a ocorrência de efeitos adversos secundários ao hipoestrogenismo, sendo os principais, as ondas de calor e o ressecamento vaginal, que podem estar presentes em até 90% dos casos 64 . Estes efeitos colaterais não são os únicos; entre os menos freqüentes podemos citar cefaléia, tontura, labilidade emocional, acne, mialgia, edema, redução no volume mamário, ganho de peso, diminuição na libido e insônia 64 .…”

Outro grande problema é a perda de massa óssea decorrente do hipoestrogenismo induzido por seu uso, que pode variar de 3 a 6% em seis meses de uso 65 e até 12% em um ano 66 .…”
