Abstract

During genital activity, physiological and pathological modifications can be observed; Pre- and postmenopausal menometror-rhagia are the principle clinical signs of various endometrial pathologies: benign (polyp, atrophy or endometrial hypertrophy), malignant (cervical or endometrial carcinoma) or neighboring pathologies (myometrium or ovary). The value and methods of various imaging techniques (B-mode and Doppler abdominal and endovaginal ultrasonography, hysterosonography, computed tomography, MR imaging and hysteroscopy) are described together with symptomatological features permitting identification of the endometrial pathology.
