GnRH agonists for Endometriosis and Fibroids: Understanding the Science, Interpreting the Evidence, and Applying the Guidelines

Speciality: Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Description:

Welcome to the podcast. Today, we’re diving into GnRH agonists and their role in treating endometriosis and fibroids. GnRH agonists work by lowering estrogen levels, which helps reduce pain and shrink fibroids. The evidence shows they can be effective for symptom relief, but side effects like hot flushes and bone loss mean they’re usually prescribed for a limited time. Guidelines recommend considering add-back therapy to minimise these side effects and to individualise treatment based on patient needs. It’s essential to weigh the benefits against the risks and to follow up regularly. If you or someone you know is considering this treatment, discussing all options with your healthcare provider is key.
