Inclusion criteria

  • 100 patients complaining of postmenopausal bleeding. Postmenopausal bleeding was defined as vaginal bleeding that occurred after at least 12 months of amenorrhea.

Exclusion criteria

  • Exclusion criteria included any history of hormone administration in the last 6 months, any medical condition that might cause abnormal uterine bleeding like coagulation disorders, hypertension, cardiac disease, thyroid disorders or hepatic condition.

Treatment and study plan

2D grey scale vaginal ultrasound

Procedure

To assess the endometrial thickness and echogenicity (whether the endometrium is uniform or non-uniform).

3D power Doppler vaginal ultrasound

Procedure

To assess the endometrium using the IETA group criteria.

Office hysteroscopy

Procedure

using the vaginoscopic approach to assess the uterine cavity and take sample.

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of 3D power Doppler ultrasound with the IETA group criteria in diagnosing the cause of postmenopausal bleeding
