Women treated with the levonorgestrel- releasing intrauterine system (IUS) rated their treatment more effective than those who received medical therapy in reducing the effect of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) on quality of life, a primary care study has found. A cohort of 571 women with HMB from 63 UK practices was studied between February 2005 and July 2009. Initially, 285 were randomised to receive an IUS and 286 to medical treatment.
