EFFICACY OF HYSTEROSCOPY AS A SCREENING METHOD IN PATIENTS WITH ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING

Prof. Dr. M. Vijayalakshmi D. G. O

Abstract :

Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynaecological problem. The study is to compare the efficacy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing of endometrial pathology with transvaginal sonography and its correlation with histopathology. 50 patients were first evaluated with transvaginal sonography followed by hysteroscopy and traditional curettage with cervix biopsy performed after 2 days. Most of the endometrial hyperplasia , myomas and polyps were diagnosed by diagnostic hysteroscopy when compared to TVS or D&C. Hence,hysteroscopy combined with histological examination is considered as gold standard for evaluating a case with abnormal uterine bleeding.
