Abstract :

Background and Objectives:

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most frequent menstrual complaintsthat is unpredictable in women. A thorough evaluation ofperimenopausal women is needed to rule out serious pathology.

Methods:

A prospective analytical study was conducted in the department of RIMS, Kadapa during the period August 2016 – July 2017, on the women of age group between 40 to 55 years complaining of abnormal bleeding per vaginum.

Results: In the study, we found that AUB is high among the age group of 46–50i.e. 15 members (50%), followed by 10members (33.3%) in 40–45 age group and 5 members (16.7%) in the 51–55age group.

Conclusion: We found that TVS and SIS are the safe, simple and minimally invasive procedure with a low incidence of minor complications. TVS and SIS are cost effective and can be used as a first line diagnostic procedure for the evaluation of AUB.
