About this study

After inclusion according to criteria, 2 arms : placebo and Ulipristal acetate (UA) 10mg with randomisation, 1 patient with placebo for 3 patients with UA.

48 patients will be included in this trial. The end point will be the bleeding evaluated by Pictorial Blood-loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) score, the amenorrhea rate and the pain evaluated with visual analogic scale.
