Background: A better understanding of the uterine and endometrial vascularization in intrauterine device (IUD)-induced side effects is clearly of paramount importance in terms of both physiological and pathophysiological changes and may permit assessment for future therapeutic treatments. The aim of the study was to quantify the subendometrial microvascularization and uterine artery blood flow in IUD-induced side effects using power Doppler analysis as well as pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) in the exact midluteal phase 3 months after IUD insertion. There were 27 patients using the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system and 25 patients using TCu 380A.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and TCU 380A on blood flow and vascularization in the uterus during the midluteal phase.
- Conducted as a prospective clinical trial in a teaching hospital, it involved 27 patients using LNG-IUS and 25 using TCU 380A, assessing subendometrial blood flow before and 3 months post-device insertion.
- The findings showed no significant differences in vascularization between the two groups; however, LNG-IUS users experienced increased pulsatility index and reduced endometrial thickness, indicating a potential decrease in uterine blood flow.
