Similarly, there are no large randomised controlled trials comparing the levonorgestrel releasing intra uterine device to first and second-generation ablation techniques.

The levonorgestrel releasing intra uterine device is developed for contraception, but is also effective in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

She said the drop could in part be due to the introduction of more reliable contraception, like Intra Uterine Devices (IUD) and implants.
