Comparison of Transvaginal Ultrasound, Saline Infusion Sonohysterography versus Diagnostic Hysteroscopy in Evaluation of Endometrial Cavity Pathology amongst Women with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Low Resource Setting

Comparative study between diagnostic value of 3D ultrasound versus hysteroscopic finding in patients with perimenopausal bleeding

“…In addition, Dedhia et al 8 TVS's overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and diagnostic accuracy were reported to be 38.2 percent, 100 percent, 100 percent, 22.2 percent, and 47.5 percent, respectively. TVS had a 75.0 percent sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV in the identifying of endometrial polyps.…”

“…Sub-mucus 20 50% Intra-mural 13 32.5% Sub-serous 7 17.5% 8 The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic effectiveness of Transvaginal Sonography (TVS) and Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) versus diagnostic hysteroscopy in assessing endometrial pathology in premenopausal and postmenopausal women, as well as to determine the cause of irregular uterine bleeding in these women. A total of 40 women with atypical premenopausal uterine hemorrhage were enrolled in the research.…”

“…The study by Dedhia et al 8 revealed that 27 (67.5 percent) of the 40 3D-transvaginal ultrasounds performed prior to Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) showed Normal Cavity, 7 (17.5 percent) submucosal fibroids, and 6 (15 percent) endometrial polyps. However, the Diagnostic Hysteroscopy revealed that 6 (15%) Normal Cavity, 21 (52.2%) submucosal fibroids, 8 (20%) endometrial polyps and 6 (15%)Synechiae.…”
