Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Endometrial polyps are a common female endometrial lesion.The long-term unrestrained exposure of estrogen to local tissue is one of the causes of polyp formation.Studies suggested that the progesterone can accelerate the regression rate of endometrial polyps due to its antiestrogenic effects.Based on this, investigators intended to observe the therapeutic effect of dydrogesterone on endometrial polyps and provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Regression rate of endometrial polyps [three months after the starting of treatment]
No evidence of polyps or the maximum dimensions of polyps are reduced by 1/3 or more under pelvic ultrasound
- Relapse rate of endometrial polyps [six months after the starting of treatment]
Evidence of polyps or the maximum dimensions of polyps are larger during the follow-up of the regression group after treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Side effects [three months after the starting of treatment]
Any side effects during the treatment
