Topics covered in this episode:
Definition of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) and why it matters
FIGO’s PALM-COEIN classification system (structural vs non-structural causes)
Sonographic evaluation of the endometrium: thickness, echotexture, and Doppler findings
Key ultrasound patterns of polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis, and hyperplasia
Postmenopausal bleeding and when endometrial thickness is concerning
How providers use ultrasound reports to guide treatment and biopsy decisions
Communication tips: explaining findings to patients without creating fear
Collaboration between sonographers and providers for best patient outcomes
Guest Interview Highlights:
Logan Colvis, PA shares real-world cases, diagnostic challenges, and the role ultrasound plays in shaping management decisions for women with AUB.
Takeaway Pearls:

Endometrial appearance must be interpreted in the context of age, cycle, and symptoms
Structural causes (polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis) have distinct ultrasound patterns
Clear sonographer reporting = better, faster, and safer patient care
