A systematic search of the literature available on the use of Levonorgestrel intra-uterine system (LNG-IUS) in women with abnormal uterine bleeding was done. This included PubMed searches up to February 2017 as well as references available with the authors. LNG-IUS usage in other situations was not included in the study. Each relevant published article was evaluated as to whether it served the purpose of this review. Available data show that LNG-IUS is certainly the one-stop answer to AUB, providing a safe and cost-effective treatment and being a substitute for hysterectomy in most women with AUB.
对有关左炔诺孕酮宫内节育系统(LNG-IUS)用于异常子宫出血女性的现有文献进行了系统检索。这包括截至2017年2月的PubMed检索以及作者所掌握的参考文献。该研究未纳入LNG-IUS在其他情况下的使用情况。对每一篇相关发表文章是否符合本综述的目的进行了评估。现有数据表明,LNG-IUS无疑是异常子宫出血的一站式解决方案,提供了一种安全且具有成本效益的治疗方法,并且是大多数异常子宫出血女性子宫切除术的替代方案。
