In addition to blood tests and pelvic ultrasound how else can dysfunctional bleeding be evaluated?
There is a relatively noninvasive exam which can be performed at the radiologist office using ultrasound. It is called SONOHYSTEROGRPHY. It involves the injection of saline into the uterine cavity to evaluate The lining of the uterus (also known as the endometrial lining). Results can show a normal lining, a single or multiple benign polyps, endometrial hyperplasic and rarely endometrial carcinoma. These different findings can help the gynecologist formulate a plan for treatment.
