Transvaginal ultrasonography of the endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding: is it always necessary to perform an endometrial biopsy?

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:This study was undertaken to evaluate whether it was possible to abstain from performing an endometrial biopsy when endometrial thickness according to transvaginal ultrasonography was /=50 years who were referred because of postmenopausal bleeding or irregular bleeding during hormone replacement therapy. If endometrial thickness was /=5 mm underwent either curettage or endometrial biopsy. RESULTS:One hundred sixty-three women had an endometrial thickness /=5 mm. The corresponding figure when atypical hyperplasia and endometrial metastases were included was 20. 2%. CONCLUSION:If the false-negative rate of endometrial biopsy techniques is taken into account, then the combination of transvaginal ultrasonography and cervical cytologic examination is an adequate form of management for women with postmenopausal bleeding or irregular bleeding during hormone replacement therapy as long as endometrial thickness is
