There are only fragmentary data about TVU assessment in postmenopausal women on HRT, but usually an endometrial thickness (ET)< 4mm (as for postmenopausal women not on HRT) seems adequate to exclude the presence of endometrial pathology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the TVU effectiveness compared with hysteroscopy (HSG) plus endometrial biopsy to identify endometrial alterations, and to find a cut-off value under which invasive techniques are useless.

Abstract
There are only fragmentary data about TVU assessment in postmenopausal women on HRT, but usually an endometrial thickness (ET)< 4mm (as for postmenopausal women not on HRT) seems adequate to exclude the presence of endometrial pathology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the TVU effectiveness compared with hysteroscopy (HSG) plus endometrial biopsy to identify endometrial alterations, and to find a cut-off value under which invasive techniques are useless.File in questo prodotto:
