Objective : To evaluate the etiology, incidence of malignancy and interval between menopause and onset of abnormal vaginal bleeding inpostmenopausal women. Design: Prospective study. Place And Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Bahawal Victoria Hospital,Bahawalpur for a period of 14 months (February 2002 to March 2003). Subjects: Thirty five cases of postmenopausal bleeding. Methods: Adetailed history was taken followed by a detailed general physical, abdominal, pelvic and per-rectal examination. Cervical pap smear was donein all the patients except those with obvious cervical growth. Besides routine laboratory work, abdominal ultrasonography was done in all thecases. All patients were invariably subjected to fractional curretage and cervical biopsy was taken where indicated. Results: Malignancy wasfound to be the most common cause (51.42%) of postmenopausal bleeding. Carcinoma of the cervix was commonest and found in 34.28%,carcinoma of endometrium in 11.42%, atrophic endometrium in 11.42%, polyps in 8.57%, chronic cervicitis in 8.57%, endometrial hyperplasiain 5.71%, carcinoma of ovary in 2.85%, liomyosarcoma in 2.85%, senile vaginitis, trauma, and forgotten IUCD each in 2.85% of cases. Etiologyremained undetermined in 5.71 % cases. Malignancy was directly related to years of clear span and was 88.88% in cases presenting 10 yearsor more after the menopause. Conclusion: Carcinoma of cervix was the commonest cause of postmenopausal bleeding in our study. Screeningprogramme for early detection of carcinoma of cervix at a pre-invasive stage is highly recommended.

Abstract Objectives To clarify characteristic angiographic features and clinical efficacy of selective transarterial embolization (TAE) of retained placenta with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Methods The study cohort comprised 22 patients (mean age, 33.5 years; range, 22–24 years) who underwent selective TAE for retained placenta with abnormal bleeding between January 2018 and December 2020 at our institution. Angiographic images were reviewed by two certified radiologists with consensus. Medical records were reviewed to evaluate the efficacy of TAE. Angiographic features of retained placenta, technical success (disappearance of abnormal findings on angiography), complications, clinical outcomes (hemostatic effects and recurrent bleeding) were evaluated. Results Pelvic angiography showed a dilated vascular channel mimicking arteriovenous fistulas or an aneurysm contiguous with dilated uterine arteries in the mid-arterial–capillary phase in 20 patients; it showed contrast brush in the remaining two patients. TAE technical success was achieved in all patients. No major complications were observed in any patients. Fifteen patients were followed up with expectant management after TAE; all but one patient showed no re-bleeding during the follow-up period (mean follow-up interval, 3.4 months; range, 1–17 months). One patient showed minor rebleeding, which resolved spontaneously. Seven patients underwent scheduled hysteroscopic resection within 1 week after TAE, and no excessive bleeding was observed during or after the surgical procedure in all seven patients. Conclusions The characteristic angiographic feature of retained placenta is “dilated vascular channel that mimic low flow AVM.” TAE is a safe and effective treatment to manage retained placenta with abnormal bleeding.

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

Embolic metastases to the endometrium are unusual, especially from extragenital cancers. Metastases in the uterine corpus are generally detected at autospy. We describe a patient with abnormal vaginal bleeding in whom endometrial metastases from an inoperable gastric tumor were discovered in hysteroscopic biopsy specimens.
