Background.
To evaluate the feasibility and applicability of using office hysteroscopy in women with intact hymen.
Methods.
We recruited 836 patients with intact hymen with different indications who underwent diagnostic hysteroscopy without anesthesia in an outpatient setting from 2007 to 2016 at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou.
Results.
Patients’ mean age was 35 ± 10.6 years (range 3–69 years).
Most patients (86.4%) with postmenopausal bleeding had intrauterine lesions, and they were especially at high risk (50%) for endometrial hyperplasia or malignancy.
Five hundred thirty (63.3%) patients had histologic findings confirming concordance between hysteroscopic and histologic findings.
Submucosal myoma had the highest concordance (96.3%), whereas endometrial hyperplasia had the lowest concordance (50%).
Forty-eight patients (5.7%) had endometrial hyperplasia, and 35 patients (4.2%) had endometrial malignancy.
Two patients who were thought to have nonspecific endometrial thickening actually had endometrial pathology.
Conclusions.
Hysteroscopy through vaginoscopic approach is feasible and well-tolerated in the patients with intact hymen.
This outpatient procedure provides accurate evaluation of lesions of the genital tract and should be considered in patients without a history of intercourse.
