title: [The use of hysterosonography and transvaginal sonography in combination with the progesterone test in asymptomatic women in risk groups in the postmenopause].
abstract: The hysterosonography allows evaluation of the endometrial cavity by endouterine administration of sterile physiologic solution. We wanted to assess the role of the hysterosonography and the transvaginal ultrasonography in asymptomatic women in post-menopause in combination with progesterone test. The progesterone test was performed by border of the endometrial depth of 4 mm, we used progesterone tablets Primolut Nor for 10 days., by depth 5 mm and over. Under the border of 4 mm we assessed the endometrium as atrophic. When bleeding occurred we used transvaginal sonography in combination with hysterosonography and in this way were better visualised the sub-mucous uterine fibroids nodes and also very small lesions., and endometrial cancers. The transvaginal sonography allowed to measure better the endometrial depth and in combination with the hysterosonography provided very good information. One hundred postmenopausal women from the risk groups with diabetes, blood hypertension, obesity and treated with Tamoxiphen were subjected to transvaginal sonography by endometrial depth of 4 mm we used progesterone test. -so it was used by 5 mm and over When bleeding occurred we performed abrasio probatoria separata The hysterosonography was used as additional method for clearing and determining of some polyps and very small lesions. The sensitivity of the transvaginal sonography was compared with the hysterosonography and was nearly the same--91% resp. 94%. The specificity was 31% for the transvaginal sonography. The combining of the transvaginal sonography and hysterosonography increased the sensitivity up to 96% and the specificity up to 98%. The hysterosonography can be additional method for diagnose of focal lesions, because of the good shape and forms of the lesions, especially in some risk groups receiving Tamoxiphen, with diabetes mellitus, blood hypertension and obesity patients.
