Medroxyprogesterone acetate, megestrol, GnRh agonist (Triptorelin embonate), Levonorgestrol IUD and endometrial ablation was used for patients as their characteristics. Each treatment was conducted for a period of 3 months. Megestrol 40 mg per day on an ongoing basis, medroxyprogesterone from 15th day of menstruation for 10 nights and Diphereline 3.75 mm (manufactured by Aria Health) were administered every 28 days.
