GnRHa - A substance that stops the testicles and ovaries from producing sex hormones by blocking other hormones needed for their production. In men, GnRHas cause the testicles to stop producing testosterone. In women, they cause the ovaries to stop producing estrogen and progesterone. Some GnRHas are used to treat prostate cancer. Also referred to as a GnRH agonist, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, LHRH agonist, and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist
