Ultrasound Characterization of Postmenopausal Endometriosis

NCT07503938 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 492

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Endometriosis is traditionally considered a disease of reproductive-age women; however, residual lesions may persist after menopause and be detectable at imaging. The prevalence and sonographic characteristics of such findings in postmenopausal women remain poorly defined.

This prospective observational study aims to assess the prevalence and ultrasonographic features of findings suggestive of deep endometriosis and endometrioma-like cysts in postmenopausal women undergoing routine gynecological examination using a standardized transvaginal ultrasound protocol. The study also explores clinical factors associated with these findings to improve interpretation and clinical management in this population.
