Endometrial Evaluation: Are You Still Relying on a Blind Biopsy?

*Test Expired*


 

One-third of patients who visit a gynecologist are there because of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), which is believed to account for more than 70% of gyneco¬logic consults in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Practice Bulle¬tin on AUB now states that a negative blind endometrial biopsy is not a stopping point in persistent bleeding.

In this supplement, learn about the advantages of diagnosing AUB using a hysteroscope.
