Looking for endometrial polypsFrom: Dr. Eric Deigan (ericdeigan@prodigy.net)Tue Jun 3 10:03:04 2003
Another technique to help look for polyps in the endometrium is to use Color Doppler, and particularly Power Doppler, at low sensitivity settings. For most of the menstrual cycle blood vessels are not visible going any significant distance into the endometrium, and particularly if there is one feeding vessel seen the diagnosis of a polyp is very likely. It is also very helpful to scan the endometrium immediately folllowing the end of a period in someone who is having cycles, since at that time the normal endometrium is relatively hypoechogenic and the more echogenic polyps stand out much more easily.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
