Abstract
Despite continuous prolonged T suppression for up to 3 years due to histrelin implant, LH and T increased rapidly following implant removal, indicating that suppression is reversible. In view of the 9-month suppression of LH and T after the last depot GnRH injection in 7 of 8 patients, it is possible to space GnRH agonist administration at longer intervals. However, T must be monitored to determine that suppression is maintained.
