Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) for symptomatic endometriosis following surgery

Effect of Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System on Sexual and Urinary Functions

“…Following LNG-IUS insertion, LNG release elicits local effects on the endometrium and other layers of the uterus. However, minimal passage of LNG to the systemic circulation decreases the sensation of pain and discomfort on genital and other pelvic organs, lessens endometrial bleeding [58] and reduces blood flow to the uterus and endometrium and thus, decreases pelvic congestion, bleeding, and pelvic pain [59,60]. Our results further support the beneficial effects of LNG-IUS on urinary functions.…”

Long-term efficacy and safety of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system as a maintenance treatment for endometriosis

“…Several studies have suggested that LNG-IUS is effective in endometriosis patients as a postoperative maintenance therapy. According to a recent systematic literature review of randomized controlled studies, LNG-IUS can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence of pain symptoms [15] and endometrioma compared with place [16] . Many cohort studies comparing with other types of hormonal therapy have found that effects of LNG-IUS on pain relief and recurrence prevention are similar to those of combined oral contraceptives or dienogest [17–19] .…”

Comparação entre contraceptivos hormonais combinados e progestágenos isolados na efetividade do tratamento da endometriose: uma revisão de literatura / Comparison between combined hormonal contraceptives and progestogens in the effectiveness of the treatment of endometriosis: a literature review

“…(ABOU- SETTA A, et al, 2013). Outrossim, o uso de anticoncepcionais orais após a cirurgia laparoscópica conservadora também promoveu melhora na remissão dessa condição, além de prevenir recaídas em um limitado intervalo de tempo, quando em comparação com a cirurgia sozinha.…”
