| Popis: | Objective: In this study we investigated the value of Doppler ultrasonography (DUSG) in evaluating the endometrium of postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT).Material and Method: Sixty-five postmenopausal women constituted the material of our study. Pelvic DUSG was used to evaluate endometrial thickness and resistance index (Rl) values before and after one year of hormone replacement therapy HRT. Forty-two patients completed the study and statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test and variables using multiple regression analysis.Results: Endometrial thickness was measured as 3.5(1.5 mm after one year of therapy. The increase in thickness was statistically significant (p0.05).Conclusion: In this study we concluded that uterine artery Rl does not change significantly after HRT; this conclusion contradicts other studies in the literature. This difference may be due to the short duration of menopause in our study group.Key Words: Doppler ultrasonography,Menopause, HRT |
