Both treatments efficiently reduced menstrual bleeding. The high continuation rate suggests that the levonorgestrel intrauterine system is comparable with transcervical resection of the endometrium.
The continuation rate of the LNG IUS compares favourably with other long-acting contraceptive systems. Totally or occasionally absent menstruation was strongly associated with prolonged continuation.
The LNG-IUS with estrogen supplementation in perimenopausal women suppresses endometrial proliferation resulting in amenorrhoea and relieves vasomotor symptoms. The treatment regimen is well tolerated and provides an alternative strategy for perimenopausal women with the likelihood of increasing compliance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
