BACKGROUND Abnormal uterine bleeding is an important cause of morbidity in the female population, which can be attributed to several reasons. Trans-vaginal sonography and saline-infusion sonography are the mainstay of diagnosis and govern the further management of this condition. This study was conducted to evaluate the thickness and pattern of endometrium with transvaginal sonography and determine any abnormality in the uterine cavity which can be attributed to saline infusion sonography (SIS) in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). METHODS The study was conducted among 122 women with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding attending Outpatient Department and indoor cases of a tertiary care hospital over a period of twelve months. RESULTS The most common presenting complaint was heavy menstrual bleeding in 27.04 % cases. Maximum (44.26 %) cases had normal finding on transvaginal sonography; most common pathological finding was leiomyoma (22.31 %), and endometrial hyperplasia (15.5 %). More than one third (37.7 %) of patients had no abnormalities on saline infusion sonography; while 62.3 % had one or more pathologies; the most common lesion was fibroid in 25.4 % cases. Normal proliferative and secretary endometrium was found on histopathological examination in 50 % cases, while remaining half cases had one or more pathology, most common pathology detected was endometrial hyperplasia in 25.4 % cases. On trans-vaginal sonography (TVS), 11 cases of endometrial polyp were missed, which were detected after infusion of saline and confirmed by histopathological examination. The diagnostic indices of SIS were superior to TVS in diagnosis of any pathology. Sensitivity of TVS was 86.94 % and SIS was 91.94 %. Specificity of TVS (75.41 %) was greater than SIS (68.33 %). CONCLUSIONS TVS and SIS scanning techniques play a very important role in endometrial disorders in woman with AUB. KEYWORDS SIS, Transvaginal, AUB, Endometrium

<bold>Introduction:</bold> The present study was conducted to evaluate the validity of Transvaginal Sonography (TVS) in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), validity of saline infusion sonohysterography in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the above mentioned modalities. <bold>Material and Methods:</bold> It was a prospective comparative study of TVS and Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) in 100 perimenopausal women presenting with AUB. The findings of TVS and SIS was compared with histopathology. <bold>Result:</bold> The sensitivity of TVS for submucosal fibroid, polyp, intramural fibroid and endometrial hyperplasia was found to be 50%,44.44%, 40%, 33.33% respectively while specificity being 88.29%, 95.60%, 88.88%, 95.60% respectively. The sensitivity of SIS for endometrial hyperplasia and submucosal fibroid was found to be same (66.66%) whereas for polyp and intramural fibroid was 55.55% and 50% respectively. Specificity of SIS for polyp, endometrial hyperplasia, intramural fibroid and submucosal fibroid was found to be 98.90%,95.60%,92.2% and 90.42% respectively. Overall sensitivity and specificity of TVS was 79.4% and 75.8 % respectively whereas for SIS is 82.4% and 80.3% respectively. <bold>Conclusion:</bold> SIS is simple, highly sensitive and specific technique to detect intrauterine pathology.

Background: Objectives of the study were to study the endometrial patterns in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and anatomical (structural) lesions of uterus using transvaginal sonography (TVS) and endometrial histopathology and to determine the efficacy of TVS.Methods: Cross-section study of 50 perimenopausal age group with AUB in TNMC BYL Nair hospital from Nov 2017 to Nov 2018.Results: AUB was seen 40 to 45 years multiparous women TVS endometrial thickness (ET) T 6-10 mm (46%), ET 11-15 (22%), ET>15 mm (14%), <5 mm in (18%), showed 21 (42%) patients with endometrial hyperplasia on TVS, 12 (24%) simple hyperplasia 4 (8%) complex hyperplasia on histopathology fibroid 8%, adenomyosis 2%. endometrial polyp 6%.Conclusions: Endometrial lining exceeds 10 mm dilation and curettage to be done r/o endometrial hyperplasia, to study the endometrial patterns in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding and anatomical (structural) lesions of uterus using transvaginal sonography and endometrial histopathology.

Prospective Comparative Study

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common reasons for women seeking gynaecological advice. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS) in evaluation of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) and to compare the diagnostic accuracy after hysterectomy.Methods: Prospective, comparative study of TVS and SIS in evaluation of AUB in patients who are being subjected to hysterectomy with uterus of less than 12 weeks.Results: 100 patients were included in the study. 98% were of 30-50 years. Heavy menstrual bleeding was the commonest symptom (52%) and most common finding was fibroid, and Polyp followed by abnormal endometrium. The overall sensitivity and specificity when correlated with operative and HPE were 66% and 88% respectively for TVS and 82% and 95% for SIS respectively. The false positive and false negative rates were more in TVS compared to SIS. Commonest histopathology was intramural fibroid in 42% followed by sub mucus myoma in 21%, polyp 18% and endometrial hyperplasia 10%.Conclusions: SIS is a simple highly sensitive and specific technique to detect intra uterine pathology in the evaluation of AUB when TVS findings are inconclusive.

Study Results

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common reason for gynecological visits for perimenopausal bleeding and may account for more than 25% of all hysterectomies. Objective: This study was aimed to review the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women establishing the correlation with ultrasonographic and histopathological examinations. Study Method: This descriptive study was conducted in the department of gynecology and obstetrics, Ibn Sina Medical College, Dhaka during January to December 2012. Two hundred and eleven women were selected for this study, who admitted into the hospital with abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal age. The clinical, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings of these women were evaluated in this study. Results: Menorrhagia was the major symptom (52.6%) irrespective of age and parity. All these women underwent D&C followed by either medical management or hysterectomy depending upon the diagnosis. The histopathological findings of endometrium were analyzed and confirmed as fibroid uterus (58.28%) and DUB (17.58%) correlated well with transvaginal sonography (TVS) and histopathological examination. Hysterectomy conferred other uterine lesions as adenomyosis (18.71%), endometrial polyp (4.81%) and malignancy (1.06%). Conclusion: Abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal age group is a common but ill-defined entity which needs proper evaluation. Accurate diagnosis of the causative factors of AUB in this age group is of utmost importance so that appropriate management can be established early that leads the minimization of the patients’ sufferings.

Endometrial Pathology

Background: Transvaginal sonography is superior to transabdominal sonography in most cases of pelvic pathology. Objective: This study was undertaken to see the clinicalpathological characteristics of endometrial hyperplasia. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out from January 2007 to December 2008 for a period of two years. All suspected cases of endometrial hyperplasia were included for this study. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) performed and confirmation was done by histopathological examination. Result: A total number of 40 cases were enrolled for this study. The most common diagnosed endometrial pathology was endometrial hyperplasia which was 42.5% cases. Endometrial polyp was diagnosed in 32.5% cases. Endometrial carcinoma was in 7.5% patients and submucosal fibroid was in 10.0%. Conclusion: Endometrial hyperplasia is the most common disease among the women presented with endometrial pathology.
