A Deeper Look at Office Hysteroscopy in Asymptomatic Postmenopausal Patients: Indications and Outcomes of 822 Cases
The prevalence of endometrial cancer and precancerous lesions in asymptomatic postmenopausal patients is likely low, with most intrauterine pathologies being benign. Our study demises the utility of routine endometrial surveillance for this population in the absence of specific risk factors. A holistic approach, considering individualized assessments and factors beyond endometrial thickness, is crucial in interpreting ultrasonic findings.
