Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynaecologic malignancy yet also one with the best survival statistics Aim: Was to determine the value of transvaginal sonography in detecting endometrial thickness in post and perimenopausal women and correlate it with histopathology report. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study of two groups. Group A: Premenopausal-50 Group B: Postmenopausal -20. TVS was done and ET noted in all the women in the study. Correlation with Histopathology was done following D and C or Hysterectomy. Results: Premenopausal group-one case of Ca Endometrium ET 5-17mm. Postmenopausal group-one case of Ca Endometrium ET 3-15mm Conclusion: In premenopausal group by TVS no specific thickness could be given under which pathology could be excluded. In postmenopausal women ET <4mm do not require D and C. Clinical significance: Patients having ET<4mm do not require D and C but should be under follow up.
