The aim of the present study was to measure the treatment of menorrhagia and health-related quality of life (QoL) in Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in Turkish women. We recruited 66 premenopausal women, aged 26-55 years, who had sought care in the previous year for menorrhagia. All patients were asked to complete a visual analog scale (VAS) form regarding pelvic pain, sexual life (libido) and general feeling of health. Patients filled the VAS form before LNG-IUS insertion and after 6 months. After the 6-month visit, PBAC score was condirebly decreased (p < 0.001). Six (10%) of the 60 patients PBAC score was higher than 75. VAS score for pelvic pain decreased from baseline to 6-month follow-up (4.32-3.55), and the libido and general feeling of health increased (4.27-4.95 and 3.47-6.87, respectively). The LNG-IUS device in the trearment of menorrhagia has cost effective, less side effects and increse in the QoL.
