Abstract
- Transvaginal ultrasound scans are not effective in detecting endometrial disease in women who have no symptoms, according to a study of 1,926 women. Among 1,750 women who had thicker than normal endometrium and had a biopsy, only one case of endometrial cancer was found. During a transvaginal ultrasound scan, the ultrasound probe is placed inside the vagina.
