Results of Endometrial Sampling in a Tertiary Hospital

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: AIM: This study aims to investigate the results of endometrial sampling in a tertiary hospital according to age and symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 505 patients who underwent endometrial sampling due to various reasons in our tertiary hospital in the last six months were included in our study, and the pathological results of endometrial sampling were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The mean age of 505 patients was 45.03 + 7.40 (19-74) years, and 91.5% of the indications were premenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding and 8.5% were postmenopausal bleeding. The most common pathological result of all age groups was proliferative endometrium (37.6%), and the least was the endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (0.2%). In 9.3% of patients, the result was insufficient material. Of the patients, 88.7% had no additional organic pathology. A total of 30 (5.9%) patients have undergone surgery after endometrial sampling. CONCLUSION: It should be kept in mind that despite the pathological result may be insufficient rarely, endometrial sampling should be performed as the first choice in abnormal uterine bleeding.
