Abstract :

Objective 1. To evaluate patterns of endometrial histological findings in women with abnormal uterine bleeding. 2. To find the histopathological pattern of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups. Methods The slides of 564 patients with history of abnormal uterine bleeding 2006 to 2012 were studied. Our study includes reproductive, perimenopausal and menopausal age groups. The patients were divided into three groups: Group I adolescents/reproductive (18–40) years, Group II perimenopausal (41– 45) years and Group III postmenopausal (> 45 years). Results Out of 564 endometrial samples major bulk 300 (53.2%) of cases revealed no organic pathology and a smaller group of cases 256 (45.4%) showed definitive endometrial pathology. Maximum numbers of cases were observed in 18–40 year age group. The most common organic lesion in 18–40 year age group was pregnancy related lesions, 41–45 year age group and >45 year age group it was endometrial hyperplasia Conclusion Histological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups should be studied as it helps in the management of the cases and especially in over 40 year age group to rule out malignancy.
