A Clinico-Pathological Study of Transvaginal Endometrial Thickness Measurement in Asymptomatic Postmenopausal Patients and Patients with Postmenopausal Bleeding

Öz:
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the frequency of endometrial pathologies of patients who pre-sented to our outpatient clinic with postmenopausal bleeding and asymptomatic menopausal patientswith a finding of thickened endometrium on transvaginal ultrasonography.STUDY DESIGN: This study was performed at Bezmialem University Hospital. Women who presentedto our clinic from January 2015 to January 2017 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups.All patients underwent transvaginal ultrasound with a 7.5 MHz probe. Endometrial sampling was per-formed by either blind dilatation & curettage or pipelle sampling. We excluded patient specimens thatwere obtained by hysteroscopy.RESULTS: Electronic records of a total of 368 patients in menopause were inspected. Out of these patients; 287 (78%) underwent endometrium sampling indicated by bleeding. Eighty-one patients (22%)were asymptomatic; however, a thickened endometrium echo on TVUSG examination (≥5 mm) was sus-pected. The median age was 57 (42-85). In both groups the two leading causes of endometrial pathol-ogy was; endometrial polyps followed by proliferative endometrium. The frequency of endometrial cancer was 9.4% for the postmenopausal bleeding group and 1.2% in the asymptomatic patient group.CONCLUSION: Evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding as soon as possible is essential for diagnosingendometrial pathologies. Role of endometrial thickness is decisive in detecting patients at high risk formalignancy especially with comorbid conditions. Histopathological evaluation is mandatory for ruling outmalignancy.
