Used as an ultimum refugium for threatening uterine bleeding after childbirth, the method of elastic body constriction according to Momburg's is not without, as you know, major disadvantages and dangers; the same should be said about the tamponation of the uterine cavity recommended for such cases by Dhgssen. In view of this, Gauss (Zentr. F. Gyn.,. 1920, No. 1) recalls the method of isolated pressing of the abdominal aorta using a special Aderpresse, which he proposed back in 1910.

Background: Hysteroscopy an endoscopic procedure for visualization of uterine cavity may be extensively used in both primary and secondary infertility and abnormal uterine bleeding for evaluating intrauterine pathology. The objectives of this study were to visualize and identity intrauterine pathology in both primary and secondary infertility and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) by hysteroscopic evaluation and to perform hysteroscopic guided therapeutic procedures like endometrial currettage, polypectomy, adhesiolysis.Methods: Hysteroscopic evaluation of uterine cavity for any intrauterine pathology in AUB and Infertility. Adhesiolysis, polypectomy, endometrial biopsy misplaced copper T removal were carried out under hysteroscopic vision.Results: Intrauterine synechia in 20.51%, Submucous fibroid in 5.13%, bicornuate uterus, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyp were seen in 2.56% patient each were detected in infertility group while 81.95% cases with AUB had abnormal intrauterine pathology commonest being endometrial hyperplasia in 33.33% followed by endometrial polyps in 23.81% cases, submucous fibroid and misplaced copper T in 9.52% each and intrauterine synechia in 4.76% patient. Endometrial biopsy and polypectomy was done in 23.80% each with AUB, misplaced copper T removal in 9.52% and adhesiolysis in 4.76% patient with AUB.Conclusions: Hysteroscopy remains gold standard for evaluating intrauterine lesions in abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. A safe, simple minimally invasive procedure not only diagnostic but therapeutic modality for adhesiolysis, endometrial biopsy/curettage, polypectomy, misplaced copper T removal under direct vision with minimal complication within reach of every Gynaecologist thereby reducing burden of major surgical intervention.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the commonest conditions amongst patients attending gynaecology OPD which also leads to significant disruption in a normal lifestyle. The causes of abnormal uterine bleeding are heterogeneous and complex. A systematic evaluation with detailed history and physical examination is foremost important in reaching diagnosis. Hysteroscopy is not only safe, quick and observes entire uterine cavity but also helps in precision in sampling and increases accuracy of diagnosis. It is also curative in conditions such as polyps, fibroids, uterine synechiae, menorrhagia and lost intrauterine contraceptive device. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of hysteroscopy as a screening method in patients with AUB & compare to their USG findings and to the histopathological reports of the endometrial biopsy.Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary healthcare centre over a period of 18 months, in 50 females belonging to pre, peri and post-menopausal age group. Sampling was done based on selection criteria after obtaining valid consent from the study group.Results: Hysteroscopy has a definitive role in evaluation of patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding with high sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV with immediate results.Conclusions: The above study concludes that the accuracy of diagnosing the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is more with hysteroscopy followed by D and C then USG combined with D and C.

Endoscopic Method

Hysteroscopy is a widely used endoscopic method, the „gold standard” for the examination of uterine cavity changes. Office hysteroscopy is an intervention that makes the accomplishment of ambulant examination, opposite to the traditional method. Due to the small diameter of the device the anesthesia is unnecessary, because there is no need of the dilatation of the cervix. Indications of the examination are wide-ranging. Besides the abnormal uterine bleeding, it can be used in the examination of infertility, and those intrauterine changes (polyp, submucosus myoma, adhesion), that were diagnosed by other imagining methods that cause infertility complaints. The aim of our present review is recommend the use of this method because it does not need any preparation and it is minimal invasive. The use of traditional method that needs longer preparation, observation, anesthesia and operating theatre, is only suggested in cases of proven pathology. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 51–54.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common presenting menstrual complaint in women of perimenopausal age group. Most frequently used diagnostics tests to investigate the causes of abnormal bleeding are Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and endometrial biopsy. Uterine curettage is an invasive procedure and is performed with anaesthesia. TVS is a non-invasive method that has been used to evaluate the endometrium and uterine cavity. The objectives of this study were to measure and evaluate the role and accuracy of endometrial thickness by transvaginal ultrasonography study to detect endometrial pathology in perimenopausal women presenting with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding. To correlate the transvaginal sonographic results with the Histopathological findings to discriminate normal from pathological endometrium.Methods: Prospective study including 150 perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Endometrial thickness was measured by TVS and then D and C was performed for all the patients.Results: Out of 150 women, 128 (85.3%) had normal and 22 (15%) had an abnormal endometrium. 43.3% were of 41-45 years and 65.3% patients presented with complaint of heavy menstrual bleeding. Majority of the patients in the study group were para 2 or more. Fibroid uterus (24%) was the commonest uterine pathology detected on TVS. 53.3% of patients had endometrial thickness in the range 10-14.9 mm. Most common finding on HPE was secretory endometrium (44.6%). Endometrial carcinoma was found in 3%. Endometrial thickness <14mm was associated with least abnormal endometrial pathology.Conclusions: Endometrial thickness of less than 14 mm need not be indicated for D and C in perimenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding. In perimenopausal women with AUB, TVS should be the investigation of choice due to its convenience, accuracy and non- invasiveness.

Uterine Anomalies

Ultrasound is a powerful, low-cost, non-invasive medical tool used by laboratory animal veterinarians for diagnostic imaging. Sonohysterography and transvaginal ultrasound are frequently used to assess uterine anomalies in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). In the present study, we have evaluated the abdominal ultrasound of bonnet monkeys ( n = 8) showing spontaneous ovulatory ( n = 5) and anovulatory ( n = 3) AUB. The ovulatory ( n = 5) macaques showed cyclic AUB for 7–8 days. The anovulatory ( n = 3) macaques had irregular AUB with menstrual cycles of 40–45 days. The B-mode abdominal, colour Doppler and 3D ultrasound scans were performed during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. Ultrasound examination revealed endometrial polyps in five macaques and endometrial hyperplasia in three animals. The width and length of endometrial polyps was around 0.5–1 cm (average 0.51 ± 0.23 cm × 0.96 ± 0.16 cm) with significant increase in endometrial thickness ( P < 0.0002). 3D ultrasound also showed a homogeneous mass in the uterine cavity and colour Doppler ultrasound showed increased vascularity in the endometrial polyps. Endometrial hyperplasia characteristically appeared as a thickened echogenic endometrium ( P < 0.0002). This study demonstrates the use of non-invasive ultrasound techniques in the diagnosis of AUB in macaques.

Histopathological Report

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most frequently encountered conditions in gynaecology practice and forms about 10% of all gynaecological admissions, the main concern in perimenopausal bleeding is that the bleeding could be the only external manifestation of many hidden serious pathologies of uterine-cavity. The objective of this study was to compare the results of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and drug and cosmetic (D and C) with histopathological examination (HPE) report of hysterectomy specimen in perimenopausal women with AUB.Methods: A prospective comparative study where 100 perimenopausal women with AUB were subjected to TVS then D and C and then the results were compared with histopathological report of the hysterectomized specimen.Results: With an endometrial thickness less than or equal to 15 mm the histopathology report is normal endometrium. When the endometrial thickness more than or equal to 15 mm the histopathology report is hyperplasia or carcinoma. Findings of TVS correlated well with histopathological report after hysterectomy. 14 cases of adenomyosis, 16 cases of myomatous polyp, and 6 cases of endometrial polyp missed by dilatation and curettage.Conclusions: TVS is a simple, non-invasive test to indirectly visualize the endometrial cavity and is useful as a first step diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of perimenopausal bleeding. Dilatation and curettage lags in detecting adenomyosis, endometrial and myomatous polyps, When TVS combined with dilatation and curettage, it can supplement the shortcomings of dilatation and curettage.
