Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

If endometrial thickening is visualised (\>10mm) after the use of ulipristalacetate in case of medical treatment for uterine fibroids a saline infusion and sonographic examination will be performed to evaluate the endometrium and exclude intra-uterine pathology.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

When ultrasonographic examination during follow up of a treatment with ulipristalacetate shows a thickening of the endometrium of 10mm or more ( thickening described in 10% of ulipristalacetate users and is completely benign), a saline infusion can help to exclude pathology in the uterine cavity. Saline infusion helps to better delineate the uterine cavity and endometrium. If fibroids or polyps are present in the uterine cavity they will clearly be seen.

This study was set up to describe how the endometrial changes after Esmya use appear on saline infusion sonography. This study can help to recognize ultrasonographic images in women presenting with thickened endometrium after Ulipristalacetate use.
