  • Title: Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) as an effective treatment option for endometrial hyperplasia: a 15-year follow-up study.
    Author: Scarselli G, Bargelli G, Taddei GL, Marchionni M, Peruzzi E, Pieralli A, Mattei A, Buccoliero AM, Fambrini M.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2011 Jan; 95(1):420-2. PubMed ID: 20723889.
    Abstract:
    The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system may represent an effective treatment option in >85% of endometrial hyperplasia cases, but histologic regression during and/or at the end of treatment does not assure stable recovery. We recommend periodic endometrial samplings for at least the first 2 years of follow-up and long-term clinical surveillance thereafter.
