Transvaginal ultrasonography in postmenopausal patients.
Clearly, TVS has become an important adjunctive procedure in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic disease in postmenopausal women. In our laboratory, the additive value of TVS is approximately 50% in this population. A preliminary diagnosis on TAS may be completely altered--an abnormal finding better characterized or an equivocal lesion confirmed with certainty. Further investigative studies are required to establish firmly the indications for TVS in postmenopausal women.
