Ultrasonographic and histopathological study of the endometrium in women with perimenopausal bleeding

ABSTRACT

Transvaginal gynecological ultrasonography as well as pathological examination of the endometrium were performed on 20 females with perimenopausal bleeding as well as on 10 age matching controls, to evaluate a screening role in these cases. A cut off point of >8 mm single layer endometrial thickness for both anterior and posterior walls, accurately predicted the endometrial hyperplasia in patients with no organic pelvic disease
