title: [The role of echography and hysteroscopy in detection of the causes of uterine hemorrhage in the postmenopausal period].
abstract: Forty-six patients with bloody discharge in the postmenopausal period were examined by echography and hysteroscopy, and the data of these techniques were compared with the results of endometrial curettage. The results evidence that echography is a valuable diagnostic method that permits the detection of or ruling out the hyperplastic processes of the endometrium in the postmenopausal period. Diagnostic curettage of the uterine cavity, monitored by hysteroscopy, improves the accuracy of the diagnosis of causes of hemorrhages in the postmenopausal period, for it helps purposefully remove the involved sites of the endometrium.
