Abstract

Abstract: LNG-IUS is a kind of T shaped stent that carries a reservoir containing levonorgestrel,which mainly exhibits progestational activity in the uterine cavity. Besides providing long-term effective and reversible contraceptive effects, LNG-IUS also has definite effects in menorrhagia and endometrial protection during HRT. In addition ,studies have shown that LNG-IUS also has favourable therapeutic effects in endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia, ect. The most common side effects of LNG-IUS are irregular vaginal bleeding and the occurrence of benign ovarian cysts.

Key words: Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, Menorrhagia, Endometrial protection, Endometriosis
