Hysteroscopic Features of Endometrial Polyps in Postmenopausal Women
Abstract
Endometrial polyps are a common intrauterine pathology in postmenopausal women and represent an important cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Due to the increased risk of premalignant and malignant transformation in this age group, timely diagnosis and accurate morphological assessment are of critical importance. The aim of this study is to evaluate hysteroscopic features of endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women and to determine their clinical significance in diagnosis and management. The study is based on the analysis of hysteroscopic findings in women diagnosed with endometrial polyps, including assessment of size, shape, vascular pattern, and localization. The results indicate that hysteroscopy provides a highly informative method for the visualization of intrauterine pathology, allowing direct assessment of polyp morphology and differentiation from other endometrial lesions. Typical hysteroscopic features include localized protrusions with smooth or lobulated surfaces, variable vascular patterns, and a pedunculated or sessile base. In conclusion, hysteroscopy plays a key role in the diagnosis of endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women, enabling accurate visualization, targeted biopsy, and appropriate treatment planning.
