and endometrial cancer. Patients with metabolic syndrome are at risk for endometrial
pathologies. Advising routine gynecological examination even to the patients
with metabolic syndrome having no gynecological complaints may be helpful in
early diagnosis. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Materials and Method: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> 120 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome in the Internal Diseases
Outpatient Clinic were examined for endometrial diseases in the Gynecology Clinic.
Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 statistical software, and Chi-square test was
performed. <i>p<0.05 </i> was considered
as statistically significant. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Results: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> 36 patients had undergone a diagnostic curettage. There was no
endometrial cancer in any patient. The rate of endometrial hyperplasia without
atypia was found significantly increased in the patient group with abnormal
uterine bleeding when compared to the patient group with menopause having
postmenopausal bleeding and an increased endometrial
thickness (p=0.001). </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> Endometrial pathology was diagnosed in 15% of the patients with
metabolic syndrome. It was concluded that the question of whether routine
gynecological examination of metabolic syndrome patients is required in
clinical practice could be answered by
further studies including larger patient groups. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}
