Office Hysteroscopy as a Valid Tool for Diagnosis of Genital Tract Lesions in Females with Intact Hymen.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the feasibility and applicability of using office hysteroscopy in women with intact hymen.

Methods

We recruited 836 patients with intact hymen with different indications who underwent diagnostic hysteroscopy without anesthesia in an outpatient setting from 2007 to 2016 at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou.

Results

Patients' mean age was 35 ± 10.6 years (range 3-69 years). Most patients (86.4%) with postmenopausal bleeding had intrauterine lesions, and they were especially at high risk (50%) for endometrial hyperplasia or malignancy. Five hundred thirty (63.3%) patients had histologic findings confirming concordance between hysteroscopic and histologic findings. Submucosal myoma had the highest concordance (96.3%), whereas endometrial hyperp
