Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women accounts for about 70% of gynaecologic Outpatient Department visits. Perimenoppause, also called the menopausal transition, is the interval in which a woman's body makes a natural shift from more or less regular cycles of ovulation and menstruation toward permanent infertility, or menopause. Polymenorrhagia, intermenstrrual bleeding and metrorrhagia are other common disorders at perimenopause. Endometrial sampling is a safe and effective diagnostic step in evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding after ruling out medical causes. The present study was aimed to review the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women establishing the correlation with clinical diagnosis and histopathological examinations. A total of 150 perimenopausal Material and Methods: women with abnormal uterine bleeding in the age group of 37-51 years for a period of 6 months were included. These women were evaluated clinically and ultrasonographically for the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Clinical impression and USG reports were correlated. These women underwent dilatation and curettage for endometrial sampling and specimen sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological reports were correlated with clinical diagnosis. Most of the patients with AUB were Results: between 37-41 years of age (56%). The incidence was high in parity-3 (26%) annd grand multipara (49.33%). The majority of the women were presented with menorrhagia (54.66%). Clinically, majority of the cases were diagnosed as broids 66 (44%) followed by dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) 56 (37.33%). However, histopathological reports conrmed broid in 52 cases, DUB in 49, adenomyosis in 36 and polyp in 11 cases. Fibroi Discussion: ds are common nding in women with menorrhagia. Clinical, radiological and pathological evaluation correlated very well to diagnose broids and DUB. However clinically as well USG proved of little help to diagnose adenomyosis and carcinoma of cervix and endometrium. Thus, histopathological evaluation of endometrium is recommended in perimenopausal women.

A Prospective Study

Background: Perimenopausal period in a woman’s lifetime marks a transition from reproductive phase to that of menopause. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common problem among women in the reproductive age.Methods: It was a prospective study on 100 perimenopausal women in age group 39-51 years with abnormal uterine bleeding who underwent Hysterectomy at SMS Hospital, Jaipur. At the end clinical diagnosis, ultrasonographic findings and histopathological reports were correlated.Results: 42.0% cases had HMB menstrual pattern followed by 24.0% cases had HPMB and 18.0% of the cases had PB. Intermenstrual bleeding was seen in 2% cases.  In clinical finding, 71.0% cases had fibroid followed by 15.0% cases had adenomyosis and 6.0% of the cases had fibroid+adenomyosis. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography. Ultrasound detected fibroid in 95.8% of the cases who were suspected to have fibroid on clinical examination. Out of the 15 patients who were clinically suspected to have adenomyosis, 53.3% confirmed on ultrasound, ultimate diagnosis was made on the basis of histology, so every hysterectomy specimen was sent for histopathological examination. Out of the 68 patients who were diagnosed to have fibroid uterus on ultrsonography, 66 patients were confirmed to have fibroid. Out of the 8 patients who were labelled as adenomyosis after ultrasound, 4 patients were diagnosed to have adenomyosis on histopathology and in rest 4 patients, no gross pathology was detected.Conclusions: A transvaginal ultrasound should be offered as the first line of imaging. Clinical, radiological and pathological evaluation correlated well to diagnose fibroids, however clinically as well as USG proved to be of little help in diagnosing adenomyosis.

Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the underlying gynecological pathology with help of morphological pattern of the endometrial histology in women of different age groups with clinical diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods: This is a retrospective study of a series of one hundred and twenty cases of women with presenting complaint of abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was done in the Department of Pathology, Rashid Latif Medical College, in collaboration with Gynecology departments of Arif Memorial Hospital and Hameed Latif Hospital over period of one year. (July 2018 to June 2019). One hundred and twenty cases of endometrial curettage, with clinical impression of abnormal uterine bleeding were analyzed and reported by two histopathologists. Patients with complications of pregnancy were excluded from present study. Results: Histopathological examination of endometrial curetting revealed spectrum of morphology from physiological changes to malignancy. Endometrium with normal cyclical changes were seen in 64 (53.33%) cases, followed by endometrial polyp 18 (15%) cases, endometrial hyperplasia 15 (12.5%), and disordered proliferative of endometrium 10 (8.33%) cases. Malignancy was noticed in 3 (2.5%) cases. Malignancy was diagnosed mostly in the postmenopausal age group. Conclusion: The present study proves that on routine basis endometrial histopathological evaluation is a useful diagnostic measure to determine the underlying cause of abnormal uterine bleeding which ultimately help in accurate treatment.

Purpose. We aim to determine the predictive value of endometrial thickness by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in diagnosing endometrial pathology and to evaluate whether Doppler complements its diagnostic efficacy in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 70 perimenopausal women with AUB who underwent TVS measurement of endometrial thickness (ET) and Doppler flow indices followed by endometrial sampling and histopathological examination (HPE). Results. In HPE, 51 (73%) women had normal diagnosis while 19 (27%) women had neoplastic histology either benign or malignant. They were categorised into group I and group II, respectively. There was a significant difference in age ( P = 0.001 ) and incidence of obesity ( P = 0.01 ) between the two groups. The ETs measured in group I and group II were 7.89 ± 2.62 mm and 14.07 ± 3.96 mm, respectively, with significant difference ( P < 0.001 ). A TVS-ET of 10.5 mm had the highest sensitivity and specificity of 89.5% and 86.3%, respectively, PPV of 70.68%, NPV of 95.68%, LR+ of 6.52, and LR− of 0.12. Doppler flow velocimetric study of endometrial and uterine vessels did not demonstrate a significant difference. Conclusions. Women in perimenopause with AUB should be offered to undergo endometrial sampling for histopathological examination if TVS ET ≥10.5 mm. The coexisting risk factors especially higher age (>45 years) and obesity (BMI>30) significantly escalate the chances of developing endometrial pathology.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the commonest symptom with which the perimenopausal female visits the gynaecologist accounting for over 70% of all gynecological consultations in that age group. The clinical presentation of AUB can range anywhere menorrhagia, polymenorrhea, polymenorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and menometrorrhagia. Though biopsy is the gold standard it is an invasive procedure and hence often an Ultrasound is used to evaluate the pathology of the endometrium routinely hence, we decided to study the accuracy between radiological ET thickened and its usefulness in detecting endometrial pathology. This study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at AJIMS, Mangalore for a period of 2 years. The sample included endometrial biopies and hysterectomy specimens of perimenopausal women for AUB. The ultrasonographic findings and Histopathological (HPE) reports were analysed. Among 101 cases for AUB, 67 cases were diagnosed as non secretory endometrium. Out of these 67 cases, 49 cases were associated with fibroids. Out of the rest of the AUB cases, 31 of them were diagnosed to have endometrial hyperplasia and 3 cases were diagnosed to have endometrial carcinoma. USG thickness of 17(54%) out of 31 endometrial hyperplasia cases were abnormal. Radiological and pathological evaluation were concordant with diagnosis of AUB associated with fibroids. However only 54% of the endometrial hyperplasia were found to have abnormal endometrial thickness. Radiological evaluation of endometrial thickness is not concordant in 46 % of the cases. This implies that histopathological examination is gold standard diagnostic tool for endometrial abnormalities in perimenopausal women.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the common symptoms in the gynaecology outpatient department. About one third of women are affected at some time in their lives. The perimenopausal women show significant number of underlying organic pathology. The evaluation of endometrium and/or organ histopathology has the dual advantage of finding the cause of AUB and to rule out endometrial cancer or the potential for cancer in future like endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. The aim of the study was to determine the histopathological pattern of endometrial sampling in perimenopausal women with AUB and to follow them up for a period of six months after the procedure.Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted at the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation, Venjaramood, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, for a period of one year from December 2019 to December 2020. The study was conducted on 116 perimenopausal women 41-52 years who presented with AUB and had undergone endometrial sampling. These ladies were subsequently followed up for six months post procedure to assess the response to medical treatment or the need for any surgical intervention like hysterectomy.Results: A total 39.65% patients had heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding and 18.16% patients had irregular bleeding. 14.65% patients had prolonged flow, 8.6% had heavy flow, 6.8% had infrequent with prolonged flow, 6% had prolonged, infrequent with heavy bleeding. Non-structural (COEIN) causes contributed to about 60.4% of AUB in perimenopausal women and 39.6% had structural (PALM) causes. 49% cases were secretory endometrium. 29.3% had disordered proliferative endometrium, 4.3% had proliferative endometrium, 5.2% each had polyp or hyperplasia without atypia. 18 (15.5%) cases underwent hysterectomy, 3 patients who had adenocarcinoma underwent staging laparotomy, 2 patients had LNG IUS insertion and 40 patients were on follow up requiring either no treatment and 53 (45.68%) patients were given antifibrinolytics or hormonal therapy.Conclusions: Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding was the most common presenting symptom. COEIN contributed to about 60.4% of cases. Evaluation of the endometrium showed that, secretory endometrium was commonest (49%) followed by disordered proliferative endometrium (29.3%). On follow up for six months, 15.5% patients underwent hysterectomy, 2 patients had insertion of levonorgestrel IUD, 45.68% patients had medical management with antifibrinolytics or hormones and were on follow up. The responsibility of gynaecologist in the management of AUB in perimenopausal women is to exclude hyperplasia of endometrium and endometrial cancer.

Common Indication

Introduction: Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed gynaecological surgery in India as well as in abroad. It is frequently done in myometrial and endometrial pathologies and rarely for other causes. Hysterectomy is definitive management for diseases like fibroid, adenomyosis, dysfunctional bleeding, prolapsed uterus and malignant lesions of uterus and adenexa. We aimed our study to observe incidence of different pathologies of uterus and other reproductive organs in hysterectomy specimens and retrospective correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathological finding of hysterectomy cases.Materials and Methods: Retrospective data were collected from our routine histopathological laboratory. Detailed history, clinical examination and operative findings and provisional diagnosis of all 950 hysterectomy cases were recorded during study period of 2 years. Histopathological diagnosis was correlated with clinical and preoperative diagnosis.Observations: Abdominal hysterectomy (734 cases, 77.26%) was the most common route of approach during surgery. Common pre-operative diagnoses were fibroid uterus (32%), dysfunctional uterine bleeding (28.95%), uterine prolapsed (22.74%). Other causes included uterine polyps (1.6%), complications of pregnancy (2.74%), ovarian tumours (8.42%), cervical carcinomas (2.97%) etc. Common pathologies on histology were leiomyoma (32%), adenomyosis (20.32%), atrophic endometrium (17.26%) and endometrial pathology (8.95%).Discussion: Our study has been correlated with other studies of India and other south Asian countries. Most common indication of hysterectomy in our study is dysfunctional uterine bleeding (32%) but Gupta et al and Jha R et al found utero-vaginal prolapse as most common indication. Leiomyoma was the most common histology diagnosed in the present series. Clinical diagnosis was possible in 67.57% cases in our study similar to Khan et al (70.51%).Conclusions: Histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimens helps to detect the exact causes and underlined pathology.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(1) 2018 p.88-92

Background: Histopathological evaluation of endometrial samples is essential in the workup of abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was carried out to evaluate patterns of endometrial histological findings in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and to correlate histopathological findings with clinical features.Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty two patients with diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding underwent endometrial sampling. The slides stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin stain were studied.Results: The predominant endometrial histopathological finding was proliferative endometrium 32 cases (26.23%) followed by simple hyperplasia without atypia 22 cases (18.03%). Malignant lesions were more common in patients more than 40 years of age and comprised of 7 cases (5.74%) of all cases. Atrophic endometrium was most common finding in postmenopausal bleeding 8 cases (28.6%) followed by endometrial carcinoma 5 cases (17.9%).Conclusion: Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignant pathology.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 297-300DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6882

Abstract Aims & objectives: 1) To study the accuracy of hysteroscopy in evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. 2) To correlate hysteroscopic findings with histopathologic results. Materials and methods: It is a retrospective study done in the department of OBG at K. S.Hegde Medical Academy, Mangalore. All patients who underwent diagnostic hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding in the past 6 years were included in this study. Patients underwent clinical and sonographical evaluation. Following hysteroscopic evaluation, patients had undergone dilatation and curettage and endometrial curetting were sent for histopathological examination (HPE). The correlation between findings on hysteroscopy & HPE were tabulated. Results: On hysteroscopy, endometrium was classified as suggestive of normal, hyperplasia, atrophic, polyp, fibroid, cancer. Histopathological diagnosis was taken as gold standard to determine the efficacy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing endometrial pathologies. Out of 175 patients, 108 patients were diagnosed to have endometrial hyperplasia on hysteroscopy, however only 53 confirmed to have on histopathologically. Similarly 25 patients were said to have normal findings on hysteroscopy but by histopathology 85 were having normal endometrium. Hysteroscopy was highly specific for diagnosis of polyp (95.9%), cancer (100.0%), and atrophy (96. 9%), normal endometrium (92.2%) but low specificity for diagnosing hyperplasia (48.4%). The sensitivity of hysteroscopy in diagnosing polyp and endometrial hyperplasia were 100% and 84.9% respectively but it was low in case of cancer (16.7%) and normal endometrium (21.2%). Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is a highly accurate diagnostic tool in diagnosing intrauterine lesions like endometrial polyp and submucous fibroid. In fact, it was also found to be highly specific in conditions like endometrial cancer, polyp, atrophic and normal endometrium.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the commonest presenting symptom in gynaecology out- patient department. Endometrial sampling could be effectively used as the first diagnostic step in AUB. This study was done to evaluate histopathology of endometrium for identifying the endometrial causes of AUB. And also, to observe the incidence of various endometrial pathology in different age groups presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.Methods: A one-year prospective study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecologist in A. J. institute of medical sciences and research centre which included 200 cases of clinically diagnosed AUB patients. Histopathological examination of endometrial biopsies specimens was done, followed by clinical correlation.Results: The most common age group presenting with AUB was 41-50 years (43.84%). The commonest pattern in these patients was normal cycling endometrium (42.32%). The commonest pathology irrespective of the age group was disordered proliferative pattern (26.15%). Other causes identified atrophic endometrium (11.5%), benign endometrial polyp (5.38%), endometrial hyperplasia (5.41%), carcinomas (0.79%) and chronic endometritis (1.54%).Conclusions: The knowledge of endometrial pattern in a case of AUB helps to decide a plan of management. Endometrial sampling plays a very important role in management of AUB, especially in the age group of more than 40 years; i.e., the peri and post-menopausal age groups, where incidence of malignant or pre malignant conditions was noted to be the highest.
