Objective: Chronic endometritis (CE) diagnosis and popularity are increasing. Although the hysteroscopic and pathological diagnostic criteria of this chronic inflammatory disease have been determined, it is observed that hysteroscopic findings sometimes do not match with the pathological results. We planned to investigate whether complete blood count (CBC) parameters, which are a cheaper technique in addition to the existing criteria, are useful in the diagnosis of CE. Material and Methods: A 7-year hysteroscopy data from a single center was scanned. Seventy four patients with CE observed in hysteroscopy were included in the study. These patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether CE was present in the pathology results. Preoperative CBC parameters were compared between these 2 groups. Results: The groups had no significant differences regarding hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood count, platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, mean platelet volume, and platelet-to-lymphocyte. However, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet distribution width were significantly higher in the CE group. Conclusion: Although it is not possible to see it as a definitive diagnostic method, the CBC examination, which is performed in almost every patient, combined with hysteroscopic findings in CE will be beneficial in the diagnosis of CE. CBC is both a cost-effective and effective method in supporting this diagnosis.
