NCT02440750

Brief Summary

The presence of a thin endometrium has an important role in allowing the best conditions for hysteroscopic surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 21 day administration of 2 mg of dienogest versus ulipristal acetate 5 mg, in rapid endometrial preparation to operative hysteroscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Endometrial thickness

    We perform a transvaginal ultrasound (baseline) and we measure the maximum thickness of endometrial line; at the time of surgery (operative hysteroscopy) we repeat the ultrasound after pharmacological treatment. It will be expressed in mm

    Change in mm from baseline after farmacological therapy

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Ovarian follicle dimensions

    Change in mm from baseline after farmacological therapy

  • Endometrial appearance

    Change from baseline after farmacological therapy

  • Operative time

    Within 2 hours after the end of the hysteroscopy

Study Arms (2)

Dienogest

EXPERIMENTAL

Women selected for operative hysteroscopy that received for 21 days dienogest 2 mg/die

Procedure: operative hysteroscopyDrug: Dienogest

Ulipristal acetate

EXPERIMENTAL

Women selected for operative hysteroscopy that received for 21 days ulipristal acetate 5 mg/die

Procedure: operative hysteroscopyDrug: Ulipristal acetate

Interventions

Performed under general or local anesthesia, antibioprophylaxis may be administered. Cervical dilatation, will be made in order to introduce the hysteroscope. Operative hysteroscope used will include a handle. The distension of the uterine cavity will be performed with physiological saline or glycocoll, depending on the polarity of the high frequency generator necessary for resection system (monopolar or bipolar), with a pressure of maximum irrigation of 110 mm Hg.
