Abstract

Hormonal preparations that release luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary or have luteinizing hormone-like action are used to treat follicular cysts. GnRH belongs to the former group and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone is in the latter group. Treatment with a luteolytic agent, prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a), is successful if a luteal cyst is diagnosed properly.
