Abstract
Levonorgestrel (LNG) alters the function of the endometrium. This phenomenon offers special health benefits for users, not only for contraception. The antiproliferative effect of the LNG on the endometrium offers targeted therapy against the proliferative action of estrogen on the endometrium during hormone replacement therapy. There are also promising therapeutic fields such as use of the LNG in the treatment of menorrhagia,dysmenorrhea,endometriosis and in the protection of endometrium exposed to tamoxifen during breast cancer treatment.
