Treatment options for VUF include conservative, medical or surgical treatment.[sup.4,8,11,12] Some studies advocate conservative treatment for early diagnosed small fistula with bladder catheterization alone with antibiotics for 3 weeks.[sup.2] Others proposed induced amenorrhea by oral contraceptive pills or by luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog because epithelial and stromal cells that contain sex hormone receptors (as in the endometrium) had been observed within the fistula.[sup.1] This management technique may be less successful in women with a mature tract (6 weeks or longer).

Pai and colleagues report a small randomized controlled trial (RCT) examining whether men who receive 6 months of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy for cytoreduction recover faster whether they receive a monthly luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa) or an injection every 3 months.[sup.1] Unfortunately, due to accrual and eligibility issues, the authors were not able to complete the study in a timely manner and only 46 of the planned 100 patients were available for data analysis.
