The Efficacy, Side-Effects and Continuation Rates in Women With Symptomatic Endometriosis Undergoing Treatment With an Intra-uterine Administered Progestogen (Levonorgestrel): A 3 Year Follow-up
·doi:10.1097/01.ogx.0000167406.63373.53

Most treatments used to date for endometriosis cause systemic side effects that not only may reduce compliance, but also preclude their long-term use. The levonorgestrel intrauterine system, which delivers the progestogen levonorgestrel dir…
