Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a phenomenon which refers to menstrual bleeding of abnormal frequency, duration or quantity. It is a common gynaecological complaint caused by wide variety of organic or non-organic causes. The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of dysfunctional  uterine bleeding with respect to aetiopathology, demographic variables, treatment options and other medical disorders. Methods: A retrospective study of randomly selected 70 cases of dysfunctional  uterine bleeding admitted during October 2006 to September 2007, in the Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in a tertiary care hospital named SSG Hospital at Vadodara. Only cases of AUB due to non-structural causes were included. Demographic details of each patient were recorded and analysed. Patients were evaluated with menstrual history, physical examination, laboratory tests and histological examinations. Patients were followed up from 3 to 8 months. Results: Most common age group presenting with DUB was 40–50 years  and mostly  belonged to low socioeconomic status. Most of the women were multiparous.  Polymenorrhagia and menorrhagia was most common presentation. Size of uterus is normal in 44 patients. Dilatation and curratage was  having the cure rate of 65.6% .Maximum number of patients (85%) was treated surgically and 15% got medical treatment. Conclusions: Dysfuntional uterine bleeding (DUB) now termed as Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynaecological manifestation allied with considerable morbidity and significantly affects the patient's family, personal and social life. Perimenopausal women’s health and quality of life can be maintained and improved through preventive care, life style modification, early diagnosis of risk factor and appropriate treatment.   Keywords   Menorrhagia, Dysfunctional uterine bleeding,Abnormal uterine bleeding Perimenopausal women, Endometrium

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.

The most common clinical condition AUB and co-morbidities condition were 19 (63.3%). The majority of patient were prescribed with ferrous sulfate 27 (90%). The defined daily dose (DDD) per patient for norethisterone 36 followed by ferrous sulfate 23.11. The average number of drugs per prescription 10.8, percentage of drug prescribed in generic name 69.56% and number of drugs prescribed from NLEM-2015 86.95%, number of drugs prescribed from EDL-2019 were 69.56% and percentage of prescription with antibiotic 80%, percentage of prescription with injection 70%.Conclusions: This study has shown the utilization of drugs prescribed in AUB patient.
