The "1-stop" clinic effectively manages postmenopausal bleeding using ultrasound and hysteroscopy. This approach reduces hospital visits and admissions for patients with abnormal uterine findings.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Diagnostic Procedures
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Postmenopausal bleeding requires timely and accurate diagnosis.
  • Traditional diagnostic pathways can involve multiple appointments and hospital admissions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of a
  • 1-stop
  • clinic for managing postmenopausal bleeding.
  • To evaluate the combined use of transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy under local anesthesia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 308 patients with postmenopausal bleeding.
  • Transvaginal ultrasound to measure endometrial thickness; >4 mm prompted hysteroscopy.
  • Outpatient hysteroscopy performed under local anesthesia when indicated.

Main Results:

  • 70% of patients were managed and discharged on the first visit.
  • Hospital admission was avoided in 83.7% of cases.
  • Hysteroscopy identified various pathologies including polyps (31.6%), fibroids (11.5%), and endometrial carcinoma (7.5%).

Conclusions:

  • The
  • 1-stop
  • clinic model is effective for postmenopausal bleeding management.
  • This integrated approach significantly reduces patient hospital visits and admissions.
  • It also contributes to shortening waiting lists for gynecological procedures.
