Office Hysteroscopy After Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Thickened Endometrium in Postmenopausal Patients

Abstract: The aim of our study was to access office hysteroscopy results in postmenopausal patients with thickened endometrium. A retrospective descriptive study was carried out on 245 postmenopausal patients submitted to office hysteroscopy after sonographic diagnosis of thickened endometrium in 20 consecutive months.

“…Nevertheless, in this study, we did not use any pre or intraprocedure analgesia or anesthesia as most studies suggests that OH in experienced hands is a well-tolerated technique and requires the use of analgesics only in selected patients [9]. Office hysteroscopy was well tolerated by our patients with mean pain score of 3.25±0.8 which is comparable to previous studies with a range of 3-4.8 with variable caliber of the hysteroscopes used [10][11][12][13][14]. The procedure also has high patient acceptance with 85% of patients had easy or faire acceptance and in the other 15% it was accepted with some difficulty.…”

“…The majority of other studies also state the highest incidence of endometrial polyp (32.5% Raquel et al, 37.6% Cordeiro et al). 13,14 The type of abnormal hysteroscopic findings vary according to the age group and presentation. In our series of patients, endometrial polyp and hyperplasia were the predominant findings with symptoms of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia (18%).…”
