Comparação entre diagnósticos ultrassonográficos e histeroscópicos de patologias endometriais em hospital universitário na Paraíba

Abstract

Transvaginal ultrasound (USGTV) has proven to be a trustworthy and widespread method for the initial evaluation of the uterine cavity and the endometrium. Due to its low specificity, other exames such as the video-hysteroscopy (VHD) have been needed in order to further analyze certain conditions, especially postmenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding, but also fybroids (uterine myomas) and endometrial polyps. The goal of this study is to establish a parallel and evaluate the correlation between both imaging resources, by cataloging the ultrasound and the hysteroscopy reports when analyzing the uterine cavity and the endometrium, during the period of time between October and November 2020 at the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital (HULW). Thus, we intend to better comprehend the population characteristics from this particular group of patients, as well as further contribute with better criteria for invasive procedures such as the video hysteroscopy, in order to avoid unnecessary actions and further guide future interventions for these patients.
