Objective: To evaluate the use of oral nomegestrol acetate/estradiol in random start rapid preparation of endometrium before office hysteroscopic polypectomy. Study design: Multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Setting: University hospitals. Participants: 80 adult women undergoing office hysteroscopic polypectomy between January 2023 and March 2024 were randomized to intervention (n = 40) or control (n = 40). Exclusion criteria included the presence of endouterine pathology other than endometrial polyps solely. Methods: Subjects in the intervention group were treated with oral nomegestrol acetate/estradiol 1.5 mg/2.5 mg/day started taking the drug from an indefinite time in the menstrual cycle (random start) for 14 days. Subjects in the control group did not receive any pharmaceutical treatment and underwent polypectomy between days 8 and 11 of the menstrual cycle. Results: On the day of the procedure, the difference in pre- and post-office hysteroscopic polypectomy endometrial ultrasound thickness was statistically significant between the two groups, with endometrial thickness in both measurements being thinner for the intervention group (p < 0.001). In the nomegestrol acetate/estradiol-treated group, compared with the control, there was also a statistically significant difference in the physician's assessment of the quality of endometrial preparation (p < 0.001), the quality of visualization of the uterine cavity (p < 0.001), and satisfaction with the performance of the procedure (p < 0.001). Finally, all surgical outcomes analyzed were better in the treatment group. Conclusion: Treatment with nomegestrol acetate/estradiol could provide rapid, satisfactory and low-cost preparation of the endometrium before office polypectomy, thus improving surgical performance and woman's compliance. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06316219.

Study design: Multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Setting: University hospitals. Participants: 80 adult women undergoing office hysteroscopic polypectomy between January 2023 and March 2024 were randomized to intervention (n = 40) or control (n = 40). Exclusion criteria included the presence of endouterine pathology other than endometrial polyps solely. Methods: Subjects in the intervention group were treated with oral nomegestrol acetate/estradiol 1.5 mg/2.5 mg/day started taking the drug from an indefinite time in the menstrual cycle (random start) for 14 days.
