Hormonal methods of birth control (contraception) contain either estrogen and progestin, or progestin only.
Their mechanism of action includes inhibition of follicular development, ovulation, and as consequence, corpus luteum formation. May also involved in the alteration of the cervical mucus that inhibit sperm penetration.
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) hormone is produced in the hypothalamus and transported to the pituitary gland through the blood stream.
GnRH controls the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. Pills containing GnRH are used to treat endometriosis, fibroids, infertility and prostate cancer.
