Women's preferences for the levonorgestrel intrauterine system versus endometrial ablation for heavy menstrual bleeding.

Objectives: Women's preferences for treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) are important in clinical decision-making. Our aim was to investigate whether women with HMB have a preference for treatment characteristics of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) or endometrial ablation and to assess the relative importance of these characteristics.

Study Design: A discrete choice experiment was performed in general practices and gynaecology outpatient clinics in the Netherlands.
