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

High intensity focused ultrasound treatment of adenomyosis: a comparative study

“…It works by constantly and slowly releasing progesterone to reduce the menstrual blood volume and the menstruational pain [10,11]. Abou-Setta et al reported that inserting LNG-IUS after a conservative operation could reduce the recurrence of adenomyosis [12]. In this study, 15 patients used LNG-IUS after the first menstrual cycle post-HIFU.…”

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] .…”

Clinical Presentation and Management of Endometriosis-Related Hemorrhagic Ascites: A Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature

“…Other medications of interest are the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system and mifepristone, which were not used in the studies included in this review. Nonetheless, their clinical utility may be explored as these have been shown to be effective in suppressing the menstrual cycles and relieving pain associated with endometriosis [98,99].…”
