“…Numerous researches are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of TVUS and diagnostic curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial malignancy in postmenopausal women, and the role of TVUS in reducing the number of diagnostic curettage is examined. Curettage today has a high cost and only 10% of cases where curettage is applied, endometrial cancer is detected [13][14][15][16]. In postmenopausal patients, the effect of most drugs on the endometrium, with the exception of hormone replacement drugs or tamoxifen, was not considered [17].…”

Objective There is no report that anticoagulant or antiplatelet use may lead to abnormal endometrial sonographic findings. This retrospective study reports our first results associated with endometrial sampling in asymptomatic postmenopausal women using anticoagulants or antiplatelet. Materials methods A total of 268 postmenopausal patients who applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic for any reasons except postmenopausal bleeding were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups according to using drug status: first healty control group [HCG], second anticoagulants agents group [ACG], and third antiplatelet agents group [APG]. The effects of anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents on endometrial thickness were compared with histopathological findings. Results The mean endometrial thickness was significantly greater in group ACG [5.2 mm] and APG [4.1 m] than in group HCG [3.3 mm]. No significant differences were found in the mean endometrial thickness between groups HCG and APG. However, it is noteworthy that the average endomeric thickness in the ACG group is more than the other two groups and this is statistically significant [p < 0.05]. Conclusion If the thickness of the endometrium was > 4 mm. endometrial sampling may be recommended in in asymptomatic postmenopausal women using anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents.
