To compare hysterectomy and levonorgestrel intra-uterine system (LNG-IUS) for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and iron deficiency anemia.
Retrospective study evaluating quality of life, sexual function, satisfaction and blood hemoglobin concentration improvement in 60 pre-menopausal women treated with hysterectomy or LNG-IUS. All analysis was performed with statistical software SPSS 21.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Despite superior control of bleeding and dysmenorrhea observed after hysterectomy, LNG-IUS showed similar impact on blood hemoglobin levels, quality of life, satisfaction and sexual function resulting more cost-effective.
In the absence of contraindications, LNG-IUS should always be the first therapeutic choice for chronic AUB. Surgical treatment must be considered as an "extrema ratio".
比较子宫切除术和左炔诺孕酮宫内节育系统(LNG-IUS)治疗异常子宫出血(AUB)和缺铁性贫血的效果。
回顾性研究评估了 60 例接受子宫切除术或 LNG-IUS 治疗的围绝经期妇女的生活质量、性功能、满意度和血血红蛋白浓度改善情况。所有分析均使用 SPSS 21.0 统计软件(SPSS Inc.,芝加哥,IL,美国)进行。
尽管子宫切除术后出血和痛经得到了更好的控制,但 LNG-IUS 对血血红蛋白水平、生活质量、满意度和性功能的影响相似,且更具成本效益。
在没有禁忌症的情况下,LNG-IUS 应始终是慢性 AUB 的首选治疗方法。手术治疗必须被视为“极端选择”。
