Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent angiogenic and vasodilator factor that could be involved in progestin-induced bleeding. This study aimed to assess possible changes in the serum levels of NO metabolites in users of levonorgestrel-releasing implants (LNG-implants) [corrected] and to identify any correlation between some of their clinical characteristics and NO metabolite levels.
