Use of transvaginal sonography in evaluation of endometrial abnormalities

One hundred and forty six woman with a post-menopausal vaginal bleeding were evaluated using transvaginal ultrasound followed by fractional curettages. By pathohystological findings 16 patients (10, 9%) had hyperplasia of endometrium, 31 (21, 2%) had carcinoma of endometrium, 41 (28, 0%) endometrial atrophy, 19 (13, 1%) endometral polyps and other 39 (26, 7%), endometrium in proliferation-or secretion fase. Sonographic findings show a mean endometrial thickness of 5, 7 mm with endometrial atrophy, 14, 3 mm inpatients with hyperplasia, 15, 4 mm in patients with endometrial carcinoma, and 12, 5 mm in patients with endometrial polyps. If the limit cut off, of 6 mm of endometrial thickeness had been used, 29, 5% of curettages could be avoided.
