Sonohysterography is a noninvasive procedure that uses fluid to artificially distend the uterine cavity. The fluid fills the endometrial cavity, allowing visualization of any pathology that might be present. Sonohysterography is not difficult to perform and is usually well-tolerated by the patient. It provides valuable information to the physician, and may prove other, more invasive, procedures unnecessary.

Key Words: postmenopausal uterine bleeding • sonohysterography • transvaginal sonography
