BACKGROUND Abnormalities in menstrual cycle is the most common presenting symptom in Gynaecology out-patient. Dilatation and curettage has been the diagnostic investigation of choice for decades in such cases. With the advent of new more valid and safe methods, it has been replaced by hysteroscopy as gold standard. The objective of this study was to know the sensitivity and specificity of hyste...

Ambulatory services, with the performance of diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy as an outpatient or office procedure, are providing much of the stimulus for the development of devices that will offer women a better hysteroscopy experience. For the many women who are readily able to tolerate outpatient hysteroscopy, it offers significant advantages, as they can receive safe, efficient and eff...

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography, hysteroscopy and uterine curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myoma and endometrial hyperplasia, using as gold standard the histopathological analysis of biopsy samples obtained during hysteroscopy or uterine curettage. Methods Cross-sectional study performed at the Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB)...

To verify the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography in diagnosing intrauterine disease and in evaluating the operability of submucous myomas and to determine the feasibility, acceptability and validity of hysteroscopy for menorrhagia, we performed a prospective 5 year study on 793 women of mean age +/- SD of 41.5 +/- 7.8 years. All the patients referred for excessive menstrual bleeding wi...

Background: Transvaginal ultrasonography and hysteroscopy are the tools to assess the inner architecture of the uterus. In India as such very few studies were conducted to see the effect of endometrial injury on the pregnancy outcome, so the current study was conducted to assess the efficacy of hysteroscopy in identifying the uterine pathologies and to assess the pregnancy rate following the en...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is characterized by shunts between the myometrial arteries and veins.

Endometriosis is strongly associated with infertility. Endometrial polyps are prevalent in infertile women and they have similar pathological characteristics to endometriosis, suggesting a possible association. Uterine malformations as uterine septum and hypoplastic uterus are also linked to endometriosis. Hysterosalpingogram and transvaginal ultrasonography are used to diagnose endometrial les...
