[Comparative evaluation of methods for the diagnosis of submucosal myomatous nodules]

The authors examined 33 women at fertile age with complaints of dysfunctional uterine bleedings, not affected by medicamentous therapy and absence of convincing data for changes in the gynecological status. Probatory curettage was made in 18 out of 33 women, but ultrasonic examination was made on the other 15 patients. We compared the obtained results with the data from hysterographic examination. It was established that the diagnosis of submucous nodules was established in 44.4% of women after the probatory curettage, while this was true only in 1/5 of the patients by the method of echography as in diagnostic respect the results were in direct dependence upon the size and location of myomatous nodules.
