“…Doppler studies provided added value when evaluating all cases in the study combined, reaffirming findings of previous studies 6 . The addition of this simple, noninvasive technique to TVUS, improves detection of endometrial polyps 17 . Use of SIS also has high potential benefit, although this procedure was used in only 10 cases in our study.…”

Trans-vaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) and diagnostic hysteroscopy are common tools for evaluating intrauterine lesions. TVUS is available in most clinics and can be performed during routine visits. One of the most common findings is intrauterine polyps, with prevalence ranging from 5.8% in premenopausal women, 1 to 26.4% among patients evaluated for unexplained infertility 2 and 32.5% among women complaining of abnormal uterine bleeding. 3 Many women with intrauterine polyps are asymptomatic. Symptom prevalence ranges from 55.6% to 74.5%. 4,5 Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common presenting symptom, found in 45%-68%. 6,7

Incorporating this low-cost, safe, and accurate procedure in every-day work, may be beneficial.…”

“…the vascular peduncle sign was found in 13/16 cases, accounting for 76.5% and this author found that the polyp size was related to the pedunculated vascular sign, the more common vascular peduncle sign with the larger size of polyp, the average size of polyps in this study was 17.77 mm with P = 0.044. [ 18 ] This assessment differs from that of Medina et al . who found no relationship between polyp size and pedunculated vessel sign.…”

Objectives: To determine the role of B-mode ultrasonography combined with Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing uterine intracavitary pathology in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Patients and Methods: This prospective observational study included 150 women aged >40 years with AUB hospitalized at Hue University Hospital and Hue Central Hospital between 6/2016 and 6/2019. All participants were investigated by B-mode transvaginal ultrasound and Doppler transvaginal ultrasound, and the result of sonography was compared to the histopathological endpoint. Results: The morphological features, structure, margin, border line of the endometrial-mass lesion, intracavitary uterine fluid, and Doppler signal clearly differed between benign and malignant intracavitary pathologies (P < 0.0001). However, echogenicity had a limited value in distinguishing between uterine intracavitary pathologies (P = 0.1). The sensitivity and specificity of the pedicle sign in diagnosing endometrial polyps were 50.0% and 97.6%, respectively; for the circular pattern in subendometrial fibroids were 46.2% and 100.0%, respectively; for the multiple vessel pattern in endometrial cancer were 64.0% and 96.0%, respectively, and for the scattered-vessel pattern in endometrial hyperplasia were 43.96% and 56.43%, respectively. Conclusions: Ultrasound B-mode combined with Doppler as a noninvasive tool was significantly valuable in the diagnostic procedures for uterine intracavitary pathology in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with AUB. It could also help differentiate malignant diseases from benign endometrial changes.

“…(2018), the mean polyp size was 15.29 mm. 34 Cogendez et al. (2015) have reported a mean lesion size of 20.33 ± 10.26 mm and mean polyp size of 15.72 ± 7.39 mm.…”
