title: [Hysteroscopic findings in women with abnormal uterine bleeding according to the materials from the department of obstetrics and gynecology, medical university--Plovdiv].
abstract: The results of a four-year period are analyzed. For this time 479 diagnostic panoramic hysteroscopies were performed. By 152 patients (31.7%) the main complaint was abnormal uterine bleeding. All hysteroscopies were followed by histological examination. The specimens have been taken by target biopsy and curretage. The age of the patients ranged from 40 to 75 years. Pointed is a frequency of this pathology and its distribution by age. The authors show the priority of the diagnostic panoramic hysteroscopy in consideration with the other methods of investigation--D & C and sonography, in fact-exactly diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary curretage.
