All patients of a total number of 621 were in the postmenopausal period and received Progesterone as one-time medical administration. In 44 women bleeding occurred, and 31 of them agreed to undergo abrasio probatoria. 354 out of these 621 patients were examined by ultrasound B-picture after about 6 months to 1 year. 31 cases needed to be cleared-out additionally.
