Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most frequently encountered complaint of the reproductive-age women.

Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) is a highly effective reversible form of contraception.

This review will revisit the role of LNG-IUS as a nonsurgical option in the management of HMB.
