Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the intrauterine device (IUD) called Mirena when compared to the Provera tablets used in treating this condition.

Detailed description

Endometrial hyperplasia without atypia is a condition usually caused by excessive stimulation of the uterine lining (endometrium) by estrogens, and may cause irregular bleeding as a presenting symptom, but rarely may progress to endometrial cancer, which makes treatment important. The only treatment approved so far is medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets (progesterone), also known as Provera.
