Hysteroscopy in Postmenopausal Group

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual cycle due to natural depletion of ovarian oocytes. The exact time interval to define menopause is difficult since many women have anovulatory cycles leading to episodes of amenorrhea preceding actual menopause. However, an interval of 12 months or more is taken as the arbitrary value. Women in this age group present with certain specific conditions which can pose a diagnostic challenge. The management protocols applied are typically in line with the etiology. Hysteroscopy is the technique utilized for inspecting the uterine cavity with an endoscope via the cervix. It is one of the newer modalities for diagnosis as well as treatment and is currently the gold standard.
