Histopathological profile of endometrium among peri and post-menopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding and its correlation with endometrial thickness by transvaginal sonography: a retrospective study
Endometrial thickness serves as a valuable adjunct in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. However, the gold standard for a conclusive diagnosis is endometrial tissue biopsy. Integrating histopathology with imaging findings enhances diagnostic precision, allowing early identification of precancerous and cancerous lesions, especially in the postmenopausal cohort. Our study concludes that endometrial sample is recommended when ET > 11 mm in perimenopausal and ET > 5 mm in postmenopausal women, particularly when bleeding is persistent.
