Hormonal IUD to prevent uterine polyps from returning
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hormone-releasing device placed in the uterus can stop uterine polyps from growing back after they have been removed. It may be a good option if you have had polyps before and want to avoid surgery again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between the ages of 20 and 48.
- You have had a surgery to remove uterine polyps in the past, and the lab test confirmed they were benign polyps.
- You do not plan to get pregnant within the next 2 years.
- You are not currently pregnant.
- You are willing to have a small device placed in your uterus (an intrauterine system) to help prevent polyps from coming back.

This study looks at whether a hormone-releasing IUD (LNG-IUS) can treat early-stage endometrial cancer or very early abnormal cell growth while helping you keep the option for future pregnancy. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how it affects fertility-related outcomes.
This trial studies a weight-management approach plus a progesterone-releasing IUD (LNG-IUS) and megestrol to treat endometrial atypical hyperplasia, a high-risk precancer of the uterine lining. It may help shrink or control the abnormal cells while supporting fertility or keeping the uterus.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a lifestyle transformation can help treat complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia or early (grade 1) endometrial cancer without removing the uterus. It may help support uterine preservation for people who want to keep fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
This study compares two ways to remove multiple endometrial polyps during hysteroscopy: the cold knife technique and electrosurgery. It may help you understand which method is safer and more effective for preserving fertility and recovery.
This study checks whether placing a 52 mg hormonal IUD soon after sex (up to 5 days) or on the same day (under certain timing) is safe and works as birth control. You may be able to join if you need emergency contraception or want to start an IUD right away and meet clinic and pregnancy-safety checks.
This study compares two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) – one that uses copper and one that uses a hormone called levonorgestrel – to see how they affect the natural bacteria and protective barrier in the vagina. It aims to find out if one type is better at helping young women stay healthy and prevent infections, including HIV.
