Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are medications that you can take either through an injection or via a nasal spray. These medications work by shrinking the fibroids into smaller growths. Using these medications is also a practice before going to a surgery to shrink a fibroid to make it easier to remove the fibroid. However, the GnRH agonists are a temporary solution and the fibroids can grow back if you stop taking them.
