Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the efficacy of ETN-SDI in reducing endometriosis associated non-cyclic pain and dysmenorrhea as compared to LNG-IUS.Timepoint: VAS SCORE ASSESSMENT

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To study the acceptability of ETN-SDI in participants (adolescent and reproductive age women) 2. Health related quality of life at baseline and monthly up to 6 months 3. Vaginal bleeding pattern baseline and monthly up to 6 months 4. To study the effect of ETN-SDI and LNG IUS on BMD at baseline, 12 and 24 months 5. To study the effect of ETN-SDI and LNG IUS on biomarkers like CA-125 (Baseline and after 6 months) 6. To study the effect of ETN-SDI and LNG IUS on hormones (E2, FSH, LH)- Baseline and after 6 months 7. Withdrawal rate 8.Overall degree of satisfaction (Likert scale) 9.
