[Diagnostic procedures of pathological bleeding in women population: comparison of hysteroscopy, ultrasonography and microscopic examination endometrium].
The goal of this study was to asses the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy, cytology, ultrasonography and histopathology in various pathological states in endometrium. 250 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding were examined. The wide range of several diagnoses were achieved with 8 cases of cancer. Used methods were found to be complementary because 7 cases of cancer were recognised by histopathologic method, 6 by hysteroscopy and 5 by a cytological test (3 results were suspicious). To the risk group were qualified by ultrasonography all patients in postmenopausal age.
