Endometrial Polyp

Keywords

Endometrial polyp, Levonorgestrel intrauterine system

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the LNG-IUS is more effective to that of expectant in preventing endometrial polyp recurrence after hysteroscopic polypectomy. Researchers will compare LNG-IUS to expectant management to see if LNG-IUS works to reduce the recurrence rate of endometrial polyps. Participants will: Receive Mirena placement or not after hysteroscopic polypectomy; Be scheduled for a follow-up with TVCD to screen for endometrial polyps recurrence every 6 months.

Interventions

Participants in the intervention group will receive Mirena placement after hysteroscopic polypectomy
