Endometrial hyperplasia in hysteroscopy, Report of 363 cases of hysteroscopy
Abstract
Hysteroscopy is a new and precise method for evaluating of uterus, so it is valuable in evaluating infertile women. In 18 months, 363 hysteroscopies were done on patients who were visited in IVF center of Shariati Hospital for treatment of infertility. Incidence of abnormal hysteroscopy was 18%. 32% of these abnormal hysteroscopies was endometrial hyperplasia. In evaluating of laparoscopy and other factors of these patients there was a statistically significant relation between diagnosis of PCOD (polycystic ovary disease) and endometrial hyperplasia (P<0.008), but there is no significant relation between other diagnoses like endometriosis and endometrial hyperplasia (P<0.4).
