Postmenopausal endometrial screening at primary healthcare
Abstract
The increase in the endometrial hyperplasia prevalence in postmenopausal women calls for early diagnostics with non-invasive (pelvic ultrasound tests) and minimally invasive (office hysteroscopy, aspiration biopsy) methods. The Treatment and Diagnostic Department, F.M. Snegirev Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology did a complex study to optimize the diagnosis of endometrial pathologies in asymptomatic postmenopausal patients in primary health care setting. The study findings suggest that early diagnostics with non-invasive and minimally invasive methods in primary health care setting can reveal early pathological changes in uterine mucous membrane enabling timely and personalized treatment.
