Excessive and irregular uterine bleeding is the most frequent problem in gynecology. Any bleeding excessive in duration, frequency, or amount for a patient is abnormal. This study aimed at studying the morphological changes in cases of pre, peri and post menopausal bleeding in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding. The strength of association between the age of the patient, clinical diagnosis and bleeding pattern with the histopathology were also studied.
Endometrium from patients complaining of abnormal uterine bleeding was studied in 141 cases. The histopathology was correlated with the age groups, clinical diagnosis and bleeding patterns. Age was found to correlate significantly with histopathology in pre and postmenopausal groups. Metrorrhagia was reported in maximum number of cases (71%). DUB was the largest clinical diagnosis group(54.6%). Overall, the most common histopathological diagnosis was normal endometrium(46.8%). Histopathology was found to correlate significantly with clinical groups, clinical diagnosis and bleeding patterns.
