The investigators hypothesize that combined treatment with the GLP-1R agonist semaglutide 2.4 mg and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), compared to LNG-IUD alone, will result in improved likelihood of uterine preservation, sustained weight loss, improved endometrial and metabolomic response to progestin, and improved quality of life in premenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia who desire uterine preservation.

Released via the levonorgestrel-releasing IUD.
Number of patients with endometrial hyperplasia free biopsy with uterine preservation
Time frame: At 2 years (or exit from study)
Time to resolution of endometrial hyperplasia (EH)
Time frame: Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 4 years)
Change in weight
Time frame: From baseline to 2 years
Change in Cancer Worry Impact of Events Scale (CWIES)
The CWIES is a 15-item self-report measure evaluating stress reactions and traumatic experiences, specifically inquiring about cancer worry-specific distress. Range of values for each individual item will be a Likert Scale from 0-5. 0=not at all and 5=often. The higher the score, the more cancer-worry specific distress the participant has.
Time frame: At enrollment, 12 months, and end of treatment (estimated to be 2 years)
Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL-Lite)
The IWQOL-Lite provides a total score and scores for five subscales: physical function, self-esteem, sexual life, public distress and work. Scores range from 0 to 100 with lower scores indicating greater impairment.
Time frame: At enrollment, 12 months, and end of treatment (estimated to be 2 years)
Hyperplasia-free survival
Time frame: Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 4 years)
