BMD Alterations and Bone and Muscle Parameters During Menstrual Cessation With GnRH

Overview

The investigators aim to investigate the effect of menstrual cessation in women with endometriosis treated with GnRH analogs for 6 months on bone mineral density and bone and muscle metabolism parameters and subsequently the effects of menstrual restoration after GnRH analogs discontinuation on the above measured parameters

Prospective, open-label, controlled 12month observational study Premenopausal women with surgically verified endometriosis will receive goserelin 1 injection per month for 6 months. Subsequently goserelin will be discontinued and patients will be monitored for another 6 months after menstrual restoration. Age- and BMI-matched premenopausal, health women will serve as controls. Controls will receive no treatment.
