OBJECTIVES: To determine the etiology of puberty menorrhagia. MATERIALS AND METHOD:A total of 35 cases who attended OBG OPD at Shri SathyaSai Medical college from January 2019 – June 2019 who presented with chief complaints of irregular heavy menstrual bleeding since menarche were included in this study.After taking detailed history taking,physical examination,lab investigations,ultrasound etiology of puberty menorrhagia is ruled out. RESULTS: Most common age group in our study are between 12 – 14 years (60%).34.2 % attained menarche between 12 – 13yrs.Around 27 patient had duration of symptoms for less than 6 months, 6 had symptoms for about 6 – 12 months, 2 had for more than 1 year. Most common etiolgy in our study is PCOD (25.7%), anovulatory without PCOD (20 %), bleeding diathesis and thyroid disorder (17.1 %), pregnancy complication (8.5%), tuberculosis (5.7 %), fibroid and endometriosis (2.8 %). CONCLUSION: Puberty menorrhagia needs to be evaluated in early stage rather than at later stage so that consequences of abnormal uterine bleeding can prevented.

Objectives: To assess histological spectrum of endometrial lesions in abnormal uterine bleeding at a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Multan Medical & Dental College, Multan and Faisalabad Medical University, Faisalabad. Period: January, 2019 to December, 2019. Material & Methods: Using non – probability purposive sampling technique. Results: A total of 238 ladies presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding were registered in our study. Mean age of these patients with AUB was 47.25 ± 5.57 years (ranging 21 years to 59 years), 158 (66.4%) were aged more than 45 years.  Eighty five (35.7%) were from rural areas while 153 (64.3%) from urban areas. Of these 238 females, 162 (68.1%) were illiterate and 76 (31.9%) were literate. Majority of patients i.e. 218 (91.6%) were married and mean duration of illness was 5.28 ± 3.89 months while 169 (71%) presented within 6 months of illness. Histopathological pattern revealed Proliferative phase endometrium was observed in 69 (29%), endometrial hyperplasia in 59 (24.8%), chronic endometritis in 40 (16.8%), secretory phase in 40 (16.8 %), atrophic endometrium in 30 (12.6%) and endometrial polyps in 10 (4.2%). Conclusion: Histological pattern revealed proliferative endometrium was commonest followed by hyperplasia, secretory phase and chronic endometrium in our study. Disordered proliferative endometrium was commonly observed in married females and those having duration of symptoms more than 6 months. Hyperplasia was more frequent in older patients who were married. Secretory phase was significantly more common in patients with prolonged disease and chronic endometritis was associated with marital status and prolonged disease duration.

Introduction Ranula is a pseudocyst in the floor of the mouth originating from the sublingual salivary gland.A variety of surgical procedures have been quoted in the literature. But the main concern is high rate of recurrence. Aim of the present study is to describe a definitive technique for managing ranula and compare the result with review of literature. Materials and Methods A prospective study was done in the department of ENT in a tertiary care hospital of West Bengal from 1st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2019. Patients presenting with ranula irrespective of age and sex; size of the mass; whether primary or recurrent case were included in the study. Patients presenting with congenital and plunging ranula were excluded. Patients were treated with total excision of ranula along with sublingual salivary gland. Patients were followed up regularly for at least one year post-operatively. Results We treated thirteen primary and four recurrent cases of ranula. Among them eight were male and nine were female. Patients were from seven to thirty three years of age with most being in the second decade of life. There was no injury to lingual nerve or submandibular duct in any patient. We did not observe any recurrence till date. Conclusion Successful management of a ranula includes identification of the extent of the cyst and removal of the cyst along with the sublingual salivary gland.  When done meticulously, this technique gives 100% success without any complication.

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.

: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common clinical presentation in the perimenopausal age group its biopsy serves as an excellent clue to the underlying disease. The presentation may vary according to the type of endometrial hyperplasia and their correlation helps in the proper management of the patients complain.: To analyze the histopathological patterns of endometrial hyperplasia as well as to correlate endometrial hyperplasia with the clinical parameters.: It is a retrospective study and included one year data. A total of 125 cases that underwent hysterectomies or endometrial biopsies for abnormal uterine bleeding were recorded with their clinical history. For all cases the histopathology slides were re-evaluated and results were recorded. Epidemiological variables were analyzed by cross tabulation to assess their relationship. Out of 125 cases 53 cases had endometrial hyperplasia, 24 cases were having simple hyperplasia followed by 14 cases with simple hyperplasia without atypia, 9 cases with complex hyperplasia with atypia followed by 6 cases with complex hyperplasia without atypia. 30 to 50 years age group commonly had endometrial hyperplasia & menorrhagia was the common clinical complain in our patients.: In all the females coming to OPD with abnormal uterine bleeding clinical correlation should be properly made with biopsy report of the patient for the proper management of the condition, which avoids landing up of the patient into further complication.
