    TLDR Buserelin safely and effectively suppresses early puberty, potentially improving final height.
    The study from 1987 involved 25 children with central precocious puberty treated with the LH-RH agonist Buserelin for 11-18 months. The treatment effectively suppressed gonadal activity, as evidenced by decreased estrogen and testosterone levels, cessation of menstruation in girls, and reduced testicular volume in boys. Growth rates initially varied, with a decline observed over the subsequent year. The study concluded that Buserelin was a safe and effective method for inhibiting gonadal activity, with potential for improved final height prediction with prolonged treatment.

      The user has low testosterone and DHT levels and is considering taking finasteride for Norwood 2 hair loss with diffuse thinning. They are seeking advice on whether low DHT indicates high sensitivity to DHT in the scalp and opinions on their lab values.
