Abstract

The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is the best tool for the non-surgical treatment for uterine bleeding and endometriosis.

Fifty-two women between the age 32–55 years were studied over a period of three years.

LNG-IUS caused 85% decrease in the amount of menstrual blood loss at 6 month and complete amenorrhea at two years.

LNG-IUS was the best and effective to surgical management and other modes of medical treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The patient showed better compliance and satisfaction to the LNG-IUS.
