About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the LNG-IUS is more effective to that of expectant in preventing endometrial polyp recurrence after hysteroscopic polypectomy.

Researchers will compare LNG-IUS to expectant management to see if LNG-IUS works to reduce the recurrence rate of endometrial polyps.

Participants will:

Receive Mirena placement or not after hysteroscopic polypectomy; Be scheduled for a follow-up with TVCD to screen for endometrial polyps recurrence every 6 months.
