A case of hidradenitis suppurativa treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

We report on a patient with hidradenitis suppurativa with premenstrual exacerbations, who was treated successfully with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy combined with estrogen substitution. As a trial, she was initially treated successfully with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and subsequently a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist in combination with estrogen substitution.
