Hormone drug may boost healing of cesarean scar defects
NCT ID NCT05206682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares vaginal repair surgery alone versus surgery followed by leuprorelin, a drug that temporarily stops menstruation. The goal is to see if delaying periods helps the scar defect heal better. The trial includes 94 women with cesarean scar defects and adenomyosis who have prolonged bleeding.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Leuprorelin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better way to treat cesarean scar defects and reduce prolonged menstrual bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 94 participants. The drug may not improve healing, and side effects from leuprorelin are possible.
