Is leuprorelin effective for precocious puberty?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Is leuprorelin effective for precocious puberty treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Leuprorelin is primarily used to treat endometriosis, such as conditions accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding, or associated with lower abdominal pain and back pain, anemia, and uterine fibroids, except for many estrogen receptor-positive patients. In clinical diagnosis, it can also be used to treat various types of prostate cancer and endometriosis. Generally, for the treatment of central precocious puberty, subcutaneous injections are typically administered every few weeks, and the therapeutic effects are quite good.
