TO STUDY THE SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITYOF TRANSVAGINAL SONOGRAPHY AS COMPARED TO HYSTEROSCOPY IN PATIENTS OF ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING

Dr Rosy Karan, Dr (Brig) Shakti Vardhan

Abstract


Abnormal Uterine Bleeding is a common symptom in perimenopausal age group ,often requiring OPD visit  .Eventhough the hysteroscopy holds the gold standard investigation , being invasive ,costly and more skillful makes it a second choice amongst gynaecologist , TVS can be useful  in OPD settings for evaluation prior to any invasive investigation , in our study we found that in perimenopausal women the investigation was significantly effective in evaluating AUB .

Keywords


Abnormal Uterine Bleeding , Hysteroscopy , Transvaginal sonography ,less invasive ,cost effective
