It is used in fertility medicine to treat some hormonal disorders such as infertility and hypogonadism. It is used to know their ability to be fertile. Gonadorelin is a diagnostic agent used to diagnose the functionality of both the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.

Gonadorelin is produced by hypothalamus gland and regulates the release of the two sex hormones LH and FSH. Gonadorelin is used to check if the pituitary gland is producing the correct levels of Luteinising Hormone (LH) and Follicle-stimulating Hormone. It diagnosis several hormonal disorders such as delayed puberty and infertility. LH stimulates the ovaries in women hence causing ovulation while in men it is responsible for the production of testosterone by stimulating the testicles. FSH plays an important role in sperm production as it stimulates the testicles. In women, FSH stimulates the release of oestrogen and egg-development in the ovaries.

Gonadorelin functions by stimulating the pituitary gland to release these two sex hormones. It is given by injection to detect if the pituitary gland is able to produce the correct levels of FSH and LH.
