Abstract

An improvement in a method of treating benign gynecological disorders is described. In the method, treatment of a benign gynecological disorder with a composition comprised of a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) compound and an estrogenic compound, and optionally, an androgenic compound, is extended to premenopausal women who are not receiving an exogenously supplied progestin on a regular or periodic basis. Treatment in accord with the invention does not increase significantly the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. The method is also suitable for contraception.
