Objectives:
To assess the reproducibility of hysteroscopic diagnosis in the various types of endometrial hyperplasias and to compare different classifications of endometrial hyperplasia from this point of view.
Study Design:
109 endometrial hyperplasias, diagnosed in the last 5 years with hysteroscopy, were all biopsied and had a pathological examination. We tried to estimate the accuracy of hysteroscopy comparing the various classifications of endometrial hyperplasia to the final pathologic diagnosis.
Results:
Using older endometrial hyperplasia classification, the overall diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy was 76% as for the correct type of hyperplasia. Classifying them at hysteroscopy into two categories only, i.e. hyperplasias and neoplasias, gave a more accurate result (90.26%).
Conclusions:
The newer classification is better from the hysteroscopist's point of view.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
