Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of randomly started oral dienogest/ethinylestradiol (DNG/EE) for swift endometrial preparation prior to outpatient hysteroscopic polypectomy in perimenopausal women.
Method: A multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted in university hospitals. Eighty perimenopausal women scheduled for outpatient hysteroscopic polypectomy between January 2023 and March 2024 were randomly assigned to either intervention (n = 40) or control (n = 40) groups. Exclusion criteria included concomitant endometrial pathologies, recent therapy and adnexal diseases. The intervention group received oral DNG/EE 2 mg/0.03 mg/day started on any day of the menstrual cycle for 14 days. The control group underwent polypectomy between menstrual cycle days 8 and 11 without pharmacological treatment.
Results: Pre-procedure (p < 0.001) and post-procedure (p < 0.001) endometrial thickness were significantly reduced in the intervention group, along with a higher incidence of hypotrophic/atrophic endometrial patterns (p < 0.001). Surgical parameters also differed significantly between groups.
Conclusion: DNG/EE treatment offers rapid, cost-effective endometrial preparation, enhancing surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction during outpatient polypectomy.
