Clinical and Sonographic Evaluation of Postmenopausal Bleeding (PMB) Followed by Diagnostic and/or Therapeutic Hysteroscopy and Guided Biopsy in Jordanian Hospitals.

Background and

Objectives

The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical sonographic evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) followed by diagnostic and/or therapeutic hysteroscopy and guided biopsy in Jordanian hospitals. Materials and

Methods

A retrospective multi-centric study was performed in hospitals in Al-Karak and Amman from 2014-2016. The study recruited 189 cases to evaluate the aetiology of postmenopausal bleeding. Atrophic endometrium was observed as a major cause of postmenopausal bleeding according to histopathology. The cases were also distributed according to parity in which nulliparous patients were observed.

Results

Hysteroscopy was observed to be effective for the diagnosis of postmenopausal bleeding.

Conclusion

There is a need to assess more approaches for the diagnosis of postmenopausal bleeding among women.
