Abstract :

BACKGROUND: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is defined as excessively heavy, prolonged , or frequent bleeding of uterine origin that is not due to pregnancy or any recognizable pelvic or systemic cause. It is therefore a diagnosis of exclusion.1 Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a common problem in the women in the age 30- 50 years. The incidence increases as age advances till menopause.2It is also seen in perimenarachal and perimenopausal age group. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: 1) To study endometrial cytomorphology in cases of DUB. 2) To study correlation of different clinical presentation and different clinical finding with histopathology. 3) To correlate age and party with histopathological finding. 4) To study incidence of various hyperplasia in women with DUB. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study was done during periods of 2011- 2012, 410 cases were taken. In this study endometrium specimen were obtained by D& C and hysterectomy. Sections were stained by H&E stain and histopathological examination was done. CONCLUSION : Maximum numbers of DUB patients were in the age group 31-40 years. Most common presenting complaint was menorrhagia. Most of patients with DUB shows proliferative with hyperplastic pattern. Simple hyperplasia was more common than complex and atypical hyperplasia. As age advances incidence of hyperplasia was increased. Parity has no influence on endometrial pattern in DUB.
