ABSTRACT

The PMB is a very common cause of gynecological consultation, due to the current population behavior diagnosis is growing. The assessment is a method that includes specific characteristics of each patient, physical examination and assessment in all the different diagnostic tests available. The TVUS for their specificity to detect endometrial pathology, we determine the diagnosis and identification plan of severe disease.
