Evidence lacking for use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device after surgery to reduce endometriosis pain

Endometriosis is a condition characterised by ectopic deposits of endometrial‐like tissue outside the uterus, usually in the pelvis, that can lead to infertility and pelvic pain. The impact of laparoscopic treatment on overall pain is uncertain, and a significant proportion of women require further surgery. Therefore, adjuvant medical therapies following surgery, such as the LNG‐IUD, have been considered to reduce recurrence of symptoms.
