Endometrial lesion’s pattern in different age groups
Background. Endometrial polyps (EP) take an important part in the structure of intrauterine pathology and could be associated with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), infertility and the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) development. The data concerning EP’s prevalence and combination with other endometrium pathology’s forms in women of different age varies widely. It causes difficulties for understanding the magnitude of the problem and finding solutions for management. The aim. To evaluate the prevalence of EP and other endometrium conditions at different ages. Materials and methods. Based on the study of 4059 histological samples we analysed the EP’s prevalence and association with other intrauterine pathology in women of different age groups. Results. EP was diagnosed in 27.4% of samples. It’s frequency varied from 21.7 to 27.3% in reproductive age and – 45% in postmenopausal women. 19.8% of EP were concomitant with chronic endometritis (CE), 3.7% with endometrial hyperplasia (EH). Conclusions. EP take 1st place in the structure of intrauterine pathology during all age periods. Their prevalence is 2.7 times higher than CE, and 4.5 times higher than EH.Chernukha G.E., Asaturova A.V., Ivanov I.A., Dumanovskaya M.R.
