Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to systematically calculate the mean number of bleeding-only, spotting-only, and bleeding and/or spotting days experienced by a population of reproductive aged,52 mg levonogestrel Intrauterine System(LNG-IUS) users.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The levonogestrel Intrauterine system (LNG-IUS)(52 mg per 20mg per day release) is associated with medically benign changes to the menstrual pattern. Amenorrhea, the complete cessation of vaginal bleeding for at least 90 consecutive days, is perhaps the most extreme bleeding pattern experienced by some users during the first year. Amenorrhea prevalence is positively associated with duration of use, with approximately 8% of users.
