This three-year study of 52 women found the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) effectively reduced menstrual blood loss by 85% at six months and achieved amenorrhea by two years for abnormal uterine bleeding.

This paper assessed the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) as a non-surgical treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding and endometriosis in 52 women aged 32–55 followed for three years. The authors report an 85% decrease in menstrual blood loss at 6 months and complete amenorrhea by two years, along with better compliance and satisfaction with the LNG-IUS. The main limitation is that the study is presented without a control group or detailed methodology, limiting causal interpretation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates LNG-IUS for non-surgical management of both abnormal uterine bleeding and endometriosis.
