Abstract

Abnormal uterine hemorrhage is one of the commonest condition for which women attend the gynecological out patient department.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (D.U.B.) is an all inclusive term comprising a group of menstrual disorder of different etiology & is not a single disease entity. It refers to some disorder in the endocrinal or physiological mechanism which normally results in menstruation. These mechanism involve the endometrium, ovary, pituitary, hypothalamus & cerebral cortex.

50 cases of DUB were studied, clinically, histopathologically & endocrinally to establish the correlation, mode of management & effect of management.

In our study, 74% DUB cases have some form of hormonal imbalance & as a result, they have some form of menstrual irregularities. So, to manage such type of DUB cases properly, hormonal study of these cases is very helpful to diagnose exact etiology of menstrual disorders.
