Сomparison of ultrasonic scanning and morphological data in patients with postmenopausal endometrial polypes

Abstract

The article discusses the features of obstetric and gynecological anamnesis in patients with endometrial polyps in the postmenopausal period, compares the ultrasound protocols and data of morphological examination of the surgical material (n = 100). The results showed that endometrial polyps are detected with the same frequency in patients in the early and late postmenopausal period. It is noteworthy that every five patient with an endometrial polyp in the reproductive age had menstrual dysfunction and a high frequency of using intrauterine contraceptive. In order to verify the pathology of the uterine cavity, ultrasound infusion sonography was not used in the studied group of patients. There was a high frequency of the absence of visualization of endometrial polyps on TV ultrasound, besides, they were frequently verified as endometrial hyperplasia; overdiagnosis took place in more than 7.5 cases; morphological examination confirmed hyperplasia only in 8% of 60 % of patients. It is important to note that in case of malignant endometrial processes, TV ultrasound did not reveal even a suspicion of this. All of the above allows us to say that there is a need for further study of the tactics of managing patients with endometrial pathology in the postmenopausal period.
