Examination findings and thickness measurements are correlated. Transabdominal ultrasonography is a method that can be used in the evaluation of vaginal thickness which is not painful for the patient, is easy to apply and gives results consistent with the examination findings. However, measurements and examination findings do not correlate with the DIVA scores in postmenopausal women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.15368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]],"date-time":"2022-07-28T00:04:21Z","timestamp":1658966661000},"page":"2911-2917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Ultrasonographic
