Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
