Background
A description of the experience
Leuprorelin or leuprolide acetate or Lupron has multiple uses.
Leuprolide acts as an agonist at pituitary GnRH receptors. By interrupting the normal pulsatile stimulation of, and thus desensitizing, the GnRH receptors, it indirectly downregulates the secretion of gonadotropins luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to hypogonadism and thus a dramatic reduction in estradiol and testosterone levels in both sexes.
Leuprolide is used in
- the treatment of hormone-responsive cancers such as prostate cancer or breast cancer,
- estrogen-dependent conditions (such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids),
- to treat precocious puberty, and
- to control ovarian stimulation in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Leuprolide, along with triptorelin and goserelin, are often used to delay puberty in transgender youth until they are old enough to begin hormone replacement therapy. They are also sometimes used as superior alternatives to anti-androgens like spironolactone and cyproterone acetate for suppressing testosterone production in trans women.
