    • Abstract:
      This study evaluated the reliability of ultrasonography in the post-menopausal period for the screening of endometrium pathology in women who are non-symptomatic or undergoing hormone replacement therapy. A total of 152 women were examined, 76 were non-symptomatic and 76 were undergoing estro-progestational therapy. As in previous studies on the subject, we took 0.8 cm as the thickness limit for the endometrium; over this limit closer investigations are considered necessary. In the non-symptomatic women, a strong correlation between the thickness of the endometrium and hormonal state was noted; it was not possible to differentiate the proliferative-secretory endometrium from the hyperplastic one. For women under HRT ultrasonography proved to be a good method for monitoring the endometrium as it allows for an adequate evaluation of its thickness throughout the different phases of sequential hormone treatment.
