Navjeet Kaur, Harkiran Kaur Khaira

Abstract :

AUB accounts for 33% of female patients visiting gynaecologists. AUB may account for >25% of all hysterectomies. A careful history, physical and pelvic examination are the most useful tools for starting the evaluation of AUB. Information thus gathered will suggest what investigation is to be done. Accurate diagnosis of the AUB can decrease the rate of hysterectomies.

Aim: To evaluate role of TVS and endometrial biopsy in diagnosis of AUB.

Objective: Calculate sensitivity, specificity of TVS and endometrial biopsy in detection of intracavitary uterine lesion.

Materials and methods: A study done on 70 patients at AIMSR, Bathinda. TVS done with 6.5 MHz Voluson E8 probe. Endometrial samples were taken by D&C for all patients enrolled in the study and were sent for histopathological examination.

Results: The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, accuracy of TVS and endometrial biopsy was compared and TVS was found to be better in evaluation of AUB.
