title: [Relevance of complementary methods to examine patients with intra-uterine pathological phenomena (author's transl)].
abstract: The following examination procedures have been used for diagnosis of intra-uterine pathological signs: hysteroscopy, prior to and following curretage, radio-isotope diagnosis of the endometrium, quantitative measurement of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) in the endometrium, determination of mitosis in the endometrium, assessment of hormonal condition in the organisms, with reference to findings of the karyopycnotic index, and quantitative radio-immunochemical hormone determination. The best possible effect of all methods will be obtainable from their complex use. Particular attention will have to be given to the use of additional and complementary diagnostic methods within the course of a given therapy. The need is stressed by the authors for very careful examination of all patients hospitalised for endometrial complaints. Diagnosis should be focused at the pathological process in the endometrium proper, in the first phase, and at the detection of a general disease as well as at an assessment of the patient's hormonal situation, in the second phase.
