Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the common gynecological complaints of women of all age groups. Histopathological study of endometrial biopsy and curettage samples is an effective diagnostic modality that can be used to identify cause of AUB at its earliest. This study was done to investigate the various endometrial causes of AUB that frequently come to our hospital and their incidence in various age groups i.e. reproductive, perimenopausal and postmenopausal.Methods: This study was conducted on 108 patients who clinically presented with AUB and had their endometrial biopsy and curettage specimens sent to the histopathology department of our tertiary care hospital and teaching centre, located in Uttar Pradesh from June 2018 to May 2019. The endometrial patterns were observed, and their frequencies and percentages were computed and classified age group wise.Results: These studies included patients with age range from 19 to 77 years. The predominant age group with AUB was reproductive age group (<40 years). The most common histopathological finding in this study was normal menstrual pattern (48.15 %). The endometrial pathologies observed were hormonal imbalance and pill effect (22.22%), atrophic endometrium (10.19%), chronic endometritis (5.56%), benign endometrial polyp (4.63%), gestation products (3.70%), endometrial hyperplasia (3.70%), and endometrial carcinoma (1.85%). Conclusion: The most commonly known cause of AUB in reproductive age group is due to hormonal imbalance. Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma are usually more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups. Overall, in patients with no organic cause of AUB, normal cyclical endometrial pattern is the most prevalent endometrial pattern observed.Conclusions: The most commonly known cause of AUB in reproductive age group is due to hormonal imbalance. Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma are usually more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups. Overall, in patients with no organic cause of AUB, normal cyclical endometrial pattern is the most prevalent endometrial pattern observed.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a very common, challenging gynaecological problem in all age group women. Neoplastic lesions are responsible for very less number of cases but they should be diagnosed early. Endometrial biopsy is necessary for histopathological diagnosis of endometrial lesions and to rule out any malignancy. In present study, we evaluated histopathological pattern of endometrium and different clinical parameters in AUB patients.Methods: A retrospective observational study done in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of SSMC Rewa, Madhya Pradesh in 2 year from 1st October 2017 to 30th September 2019. AUB patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included in study. All data were collected from department records in predesigned proforma and statistically analyzed by statistical package for the Social sciences (SPSS) version 20.Results: Total 366 AUB patients were included in study; most frequent clinical presentation was HMB (56%). Mostly patient’s age ranged from 24-84 years, belonged to 41-50 years age group (44%), multiparous (78%), and premenopausal (53%). On histopathological evaluation of endometrium most commonly nonneoplastic lesions (75%) were seen, out of which proliferative phase endometrium was most frequent. Neoplastic lesions were seen in 25% cases. Out of which benign lesions were noted in 7%, premalignant in 17.3% and malignant in 1% (all in >45 year patients).Conclusions: Endometrial biopsy should be done in all AUB patients >45 years and in selected premenopausal in order to get early diagnosis, to rule out malignancy and to help in management. Endometrial biopsy should be considered as first diagnostic modality.

A Prospective Study

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most common complaint that reproductive age women bring to their clinicians. Causes are varied and study of endometrium by dilatation and curettage with histopathological examination is an important aspect of treating patients with Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The present study was done for evaluation of the histopathology of the endometrium for identifying endometrial causes of AUB.Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a period of one year from July 2017 to July 2018 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in collaboration with the department of Pathology at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College, Puducherry. A complete clinical history, complete clinical examination, laboratory investigations, pelvic scan and endometrial biopsy were done to diagnose causes of AUB.Results: A total of 152 cases are included. The age of the patients having AUB was ranging from 21 to 70 years. AUB was more common the age group in the age group 41-50 years (49%) followed by 31-40 years (36%). Majority were multiparous (74%). Menorrhagia (61%) was the commonest presentation. Majority of the cases showed a disordered proliferative endometrial pattern (34.2%), followed by secretory pattern (25%). 9.8% had polyp and 1.3% showed simple hyperplasia and 0.62% revealed complex hyperplasia without atypia and carcinoma endometrium.Conclusions: Abnormal uterine bleeding was more common in the perimenopausal age group and majority had disordered proliferative endometrium and secretory changes. Endometrial sampling followed by histopathological examination helps us to diagnose the underlying pathology and will help in treating the patients appropriately including ruling out premalignant and malignant conditions of the uterus.

Background: Histological characteristics of endometrial biopsy material as assessed by light microscopy remain the diagnostic standard for the clinical diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Management of abnormal uterine bleeding is not complete without tissue diagnosis. The aim of the study was to find out the histopathological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Endometrial biopsy specimens received from Jan 2007 to Nov 2010 were studied retrospectively in the Department of Histopathology, Helping Hands Community Hospital, Kathmandu. The specimens were routinely processed and the hematoxyllin and eosin stained slides were studied. Results: A total of 300 specimens were analyzed. In the group of patients less than 40 years of age, 73 (50%) were normal, 34(23%) had abnormal physiologic changes and 13 (9%) had pregnancy related complications and benign changes. In the age group between 40 – 55 years, abnormal physiological changes, benign conditions and normal physiological changes were 45 (32%), 41 (29%) and 37 (26%) respectively. In the age group > 55 years, there were 3(21%) malignant and 3(21%) benign conditions. There were 5(36%) unsatisfactory samples in this age group. Conclusion: It is important to know the histological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups since it will help in the management of the cases. In this study endometrial hyperplasias were seen in 55 cases (18.8%). The importance of studying the histological pattern of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age group is to help in correctly managing the cases.

Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is dened as abnormal uterine bleeding not caused by any pelvic pathology, medications, pregnancy related complications or any systemic disease. It is the most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. It affects pubertal adolescents and perimenopausal women and is associated with considerable morbidity and affects patient’s family, personal and social life. Patient presents as menorrhagia, polymenorrhea, metrorrhagia or intermenstrual bleeding. It has great variations in endometrial patterns each deciding treatment modality. Objective: To determine frequency of various types of abnormal uterine bleeding and analyze the histopathology of endometrial curettage samples. Method: A prospective analytical study was conducted from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019 on sample of 650 patients between 20-70 years of age with symptoms of dysfunctional uterine bleeding presenting to medical college and hospital, Pimpri. Their endometrial samples were obtained by dilatation and curettage. To have a broader analysis the endometrial histopathology on hysterectomy specimens where the clinical diagnosis was DUB were also included in the study. Data obtained was tabulated and analyzed. Conclusion: The age group 31-40 and 41-50 years was the most common age group presenting with DUB. The predominant pattern of presentation was menorrhagia. The most common endometrial pattern on histopathology was proliferative type.

Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a form of abnormal uterine bleeding when there is absence of organic disease of the genital tract. The objective of this study was to find out the clinical and pathological aspect of women presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted over a period of one year from April 14th 2010 to April 13th 2011 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Department of Pathology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. A complete history, clinical examination, pelvic scan, hormonal status if required and endometrial biopsy were done to diagnose dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Results: A total of 120 cases were included. The age of the patients diagnosed dysfunctional uterine bleeding were ranging from 24 -63 years. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding was most common in the age group 40-44 yrs (30%) followed by 45-49 yrs (27.5%). Menorrhagia (41.7%) was the most common presenting sign. Majority histopathology of endometrium revealed anovulatory pattern (61.7%) followed by ovulatory (38.3%). Of the cases with an anovulatory pattern 48.6% was proliferative endometrium, 33.8% disordered proliferative endometrium, 6.8%atrophic, 5.4% weakly proliferative and 2.7% each of simple hyperplasia without atypia and complex hyperplasia with atypia. All cases with ovulatory pattern showed secretory endometrium.Conclusion: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding was the most common in the perimenopausal age group and chiefly in the form of an anovulatory endometrium. . Histopathological evaluation of endometrium helps exclude the local causes and establishes the diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, its types, and clinical correlation to histopathological findings and finally helps to determine the mode of management.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11500 Journal of Pathology of Nepal; Vol.4,No. 8 (2014) 635-638

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the commonest cases seen in gynecology OPD in the country. The incidence is more commonly seen in late adolescence and perimenopausal group of patients. A fair and objective procedural pattern needs to be adopted to ensure that these patients undergo rapid diagnosis and treatment. The Palm-Coein system is considered as the gold standard. The present study aims to ascertain the efficacy of this system in AUB patient diagnosis.Methods: The study involved as sample of 120 subjects who came to the OPD of the institute and consented to be a part of the study. The subjects were examined and relevant data pertaining to their diagnosis and management was recorded. The data was analyzed and reported.Results: The data revealed that menorrhagia was the commonest complaint. The predominant age group was above 40 years, and had a normal radiological profile in most cases. The use of Palm-Coein system proved effective in determining the diagnosis as well setting a procedural mechanism for adequate management.Conclusions: Palm-Coein is an effective modality for diagnosing and managing AUB cases in a tertiary care set up and can be adopted as a standard practice.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a major gynaecological problem accounting for 33% of Gynaec outpatients. The cause of the bleeding is established in only 50-60% of the cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the various histopathological patterns in the endometrial biopsy of patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding and to determine the specific pathology in the different age groups.Methods: This was a prospective study done in a tertiary care teaching hospital for a period of 2 years. Total of 905 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding were included in the study and they were subjected to a Dilatation and Curettage. Histopathological examination of the endometrial biopsy was done and the various histopathological patterns identified and classified.Results: The age of patients ranged from 24-74 years. 54.7% were in the age group 40-49 years followed by 23.4% in the age group 30-39 years. The most frequent findings were proliferative findings in 47.3% followed by secretory endometrium in 16.1 % patients. Proliferative endometrium was more common in the age group 40-49 years as also disordered proliferation, secretory endometrium, cystoglandular hyperplasia and endometrial hyperplasia.Conclusions: Endometrial curettings and biopsy is an important diagnostic procedure for assessing all cases of abnormal uterine bleeding and to plan for successful management.
