Conditions

Endometrial Hyperplasia Without Atypia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the vaginal micronized progesterone and Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System for treatment of non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia in premenopausal women.

Detailed description

Vaginal use of micronized progesterone in the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia can result in better than oral administration, as it will remain away from the first pass effect, and depending on the local application. In this study, we aimed to compare this local treatment with Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System for treatment of non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia.

Interventions

Micronized progesterone tablets at a dose of 200 mg once a day vaginally, for 12 days (Between 14'th-25'th days of the menstrual cycle) over three months.

DEVICELevonorgestrel-Intrauterine System

Release rate of 20µg Levonorgestrel (Mirena-Intrauterine system) per day.
