Yuan Ai-pin

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(LNG-IUS)on the adenomyosis.Methods 38 cases with adenomyosis were placed levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system.Dysmenorrhea,menstruation,uterine,ovarian volume and adverse reactions were observed and followed up for 12 months after the placing of LNG-IUS.Results After the placing of LNG-IUS,dysmenorrhea significantly reduced (P0.01) the period significantly decreased (P0.01),endometrium was significantly thinner (P0.01),uterine volume decreased with size (but no statistical significance),ovarian volume was not changed in 38 cases with adenomyosis.Conclusion The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system provides a more effective and safe method in the treatment of adenomyosis.
