Causes and Diagnosis of Postmenopausal Bleeding Using Transvaginal Ultrasound and Hysteroscopy: A Prospective Study | Chapter 5 | Novel Research Aspects in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 Present study was created and carried out to study aetiology and prevalence of Postmenopausal extorting (PMB) in Central India as well as to judge the efficacy of Trans-vaginalsonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy in diagnosis of various endometrial pathologies in patients with PMB. Menopause is obvious by the end of weekly menstruation (also known as a menstrual ending or ‘period’) on account of loss of ovarian follicular function. This means that the ovaries stop leaking eggs for fertilisation. The regularity and distance of the menstrual cycle changes across a woman’s reproductive life span, but the age at that natural menopause happens is generally middle from two points 45 and 55 years for women general. Natural menopause is considered to have occurred after 12 ensuing months without menstruation for that there is no added obvious physiological or healing cause and in the absence of clinical interference. PMB is considered a warning signal symptom and warrants further examination and judgment. TVS can be used dependably to diagnose fibroids, polyps and thickened endometrium. Hysteroscopy is thought-out “gold standard” for evaluating endometrial crater. It provides direct imagination of endometrial cavity. It can have both demonstrative as well as operative purpose still, it is not cost effective, an obtrusive procedure and requires sleep and expertise. This prospective study contained 82 post-menopausal women accompanying PMB who attended the gynaecological hospital from December, 2019 to December, 2020 at Motherhood hospital, Indore, India afterwards ethical clearance. A itemized history, examination trailed by transvaginal sonography was made. Hysteroscopy was before performed, and biopsy was acquired in all patients. Hysteroscopic and sonographic countenances were then resolved and conformed with the histopathologic disease. Most common endometrial pathology was atrophic endometrium understood by endometrial polyp and hyperplasia. Endometrial malignant growth was observed in (3.66%) females. Other judgments in cases of secretory, proliferative endometrium and endometritis accounted for 6.09%. The demonstrative accuracy of ET by TVS at a cut-off point of 5 mm was 94% accompanying sensitivity 89.3%, specificity 100%, PPV 100% and NPV 88%. The demonstrative accuracy of hysteroscopy was 98% accompanying sensitivity 96.4%, specificity 100%, PPV 100% and NPV 95.7%. Due to allure affordability, accessibility, and non-invasive character, TVS with ET calculation should be used as the beginning study in the evaluation of girls with suspected endometrial ailment who have PMB. Despite the fact that hysteroscopy is more sensitive and particular, it should only be secondhand in low resource scenes in cases with unclear endometrial interlining, chronic or repeating bleeding, and endometrial thickness above 5 mm regardless of endometrial echotexture.

Hysteroscopy and 3D Ultrasound for Diagnosing Uterine Cavity Abnormalities: A Comparative Study | Chapter 03 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 Hysterosalpingography (HSG), Trans Vaginal Ultrasonography (TVS), Sonohysterography (SHG), and Hysteroscopy can all be used to evaluate the uterine cavity. Endometrial polyps, submucous myomas, intrauterine adhesions, endometritis, and uterine septum anomalies can cause abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in the form of menorrhagia or metrorrhagia, as well as infertility. As a result, excluding intrauterine disease is critical for treating irregular uterine bleeding and infertility.

In patients with abnormal uterine haemorrhage and infertility, compare the diagnostic accuracy and efficacy of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (3D-TVS) with hysteroscopy in detecting uterine cavity abnormalities.

From January 2018 to February 2019, an observational prospective study was undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Institute of Kidney Disease & Research Centre, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, India.

Material and Methods: A prospective study of 200 patients with abnormal uterine haemorrhage and infertility was conducted. The main complaint of 100 patients was abnormal uterine bleeding, while the main complaint of 100 patients was infertility. In the mid to late follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, 2D Transvaginal Ultrasonography was conducted, followed by 3D Ultrasonography and hysteroscopy. The characteristics and anomalies of the uterine cavity were identified.

Numbers and percentages were used to present qualitative data. The chi-square test was used to estimate group comparisons. Hysteroscopy detected abnormal findings in 32.5 percent of patients, while 3D Ultrasonography detected abnormal findings in 20% of patients. It was considered significant if the probability value (p value) was less than 0.01. On hysteroscopy, 14 percent of patients had endometrial polyps, compared to 7.5 percent on 3D Ultrasonography, with a p-value of 0.04.

Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is a safe and effective method for evaluating benign endometrial lesions and providing direct sight of the uterine interior. In a select circumstances, it allows for simultaneous therapy or biopsy operations, whereas 3D USG is a non-invasive tool for basic uterine and adnexal examination.
