[Hysteroscopy as a diagnostic method in postmenopausal metrorrhagia]

We performed 215 hysteroscopies for post-menopausal bleeding. The most common abnormalities found were endometrial hypoatrophy and low-risk hyperplasia, the less common high-risk hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. The correlation between hysteroscopic view and endometrial sampling was always very high. Hysteroscopy seems to be a very accurate method for evaluating patients with post-menopausal bleeding especially if associated with endometrial sampling.
