To Validate The Use Of Trans Vaginal Sonography – A Non Invasive Tool As A Screening Method For Patients With Postmenopausal Bleeding

Objective:1. To measure the endometrial thickness by transabdominal or trans-vaginal sonography in patients with postmenopausal bleeding.2. To correlate the endometrial thickness with histopathological diagnosis in these patients.Methods70 patients with postmenopausal bleeding were enrolled. Results The mean age of study population was 50 to 80 years. There were 5.71% cases of adenocarcinoma of endometrium. No case of abnormal high risk type of endometrium was diagnosed with an endometrial thickness of less than cut off value of 4mm. The sensitivity and specificity of transvaginal sonography as a screening modality was 100% and 72.73% respectively. Conclusion The study validated the use of transvaginal sonography as a screening tool for patients with postmenopausal bleeding.
