Diagnostic hysteroscopy is an effective method for identifying the causes of postmenopausal bleeding. It evaluates the uterine cavity and visualizes pathologic conditions such as endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, and focal endometrial abnormalities including adenocarcinoma and its precursors. With directed biopsy, diagnostic hysteroscopy also ensures the recognition of these lesions.
