Antigonadotropic
Antigonadotropic therapy is a medical treatment that reduces the production of the hormones testosterone and estrogen. It is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), precocious puberty, prostate cancer, and gender dysphoria. Antigonadotropic therapy works by either inhibiting the production of hormones or blocking their action at the cellular level. In some cases, this involves the use of drugs to block the production of hormones in the testes or ovaries. In other cases, it may involve the use of hormones themselves to suppress hormone production. In the case of gender dysphoria, it may involve the use of drugs to block the action of testosterone. The goal of antigonadotropic therapy is to reduce the production of hormones and thereby reduce the symptoms associated with the condition being treated. In some cases, this may result in complete resolution of symptoms. In other cases, it may be used to reduce the severity of symptoms or to delay the progression of the condition.
