Conditions

Postmenopausal Bleeding

Brief summary

100 patients with postmenopausal bleeding were assessed with 2D vaginal ultrasound and 3D power Doppler ultrasound using the international endometrial tumor analysis group and office hysteroscopy with taking samples for histopathological analysis.

Detailed description

The aim was to compare the efficiency of the upper mentioned interventions in diagnosing the cause of postmenopausal bleeding.

Interventions

PROCEDURE2D grey scale vaginal ultrasound

To assess the endometrial thickness and echogenicity (whether the endometrium is uniform or non-uniform).

PROCEDURE3D power Doppler vaginal ultrasound

To assess the endometrium using the IETA group criteria.

PROCEDUREOffice hysteroscopy

using the vaginoscopic approach to assess the uterine cavity and take sample.
