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.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to detect thyroid dysfunction in women who had abnormal uterine bleeding Study Design: Menorrhagia was the most common type of bleeding (36%). Thyroid dysfunction was discovered in 32% of the patients (Subclinical hypothyroidism in 17%, Hyper thyroid is 11% and hyperthyroidism in 4 % of cases). The researchers looked at 100 cases of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding that were clinically identified at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital between March 2014 and August 2016. The patients in this study ranged in age from under 20 to 45 years old. The number of instances with DUB who were between the ages of 31 and 40 is 38 %. Methodology: The parity of the patients ranged from unmarried to 0-5, with the parity 2 group accounting for 37% of all DUB patients and the following assessments were made. Results: Thyroid dysfunction was most common in cases of polymenorrhagia (42.8%), menorrhagia (33.3%), polymenorrhea (28.5%), and oligomenorrhea. (26%). Thyroid dysfunction was most common in the age group 31-40 years, accounting for 77.5% of the population. In 17 % of cases, the primary thyroid malfunction was subclinical hypothyroidism. 3% of hyperthyroid patients were also oligomenorrhocic. The most prevalent thyroid disorder in metrorrhagic patients was subclinical hypothyroidism.

Background: Thyroid gland is the most vital endocrine organ which plays a major role in growth, development, metabolism and function of almost every organ of our body. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can result in menstrual irregularities. Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common, yet complicated clinical presentation. It occurs in 10-20% of women between 15-50 years of age. Timely detection of thyroid dysfunction in patients presenting with AUB and their proper management can prevent unnecessary surgical interventions. This study was done to analyze the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with AUB and also to look for different menstrual patterns associated with thyroid dysfunction.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Government Medical College, Manjeri, Kerala, India. Total 200 patients were recruited into present study after satisfying all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Complete history was taken followed by a thorough examination. Baseline investigations and T3, T4, TSH was performed in all patients. Results were analyzed.Results: As per present study, majority of the patients with AUB were from the age group of 35-49 years (43%). In patients with AUB with thyroid dysfunction, prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was most common followed by hypothyroidism. According to our study thyroid dysfunction was most commonly seen in the age group of 35-49 years, and the most common presentation being menorrhagia.Conclusions: Timely diagnosis and proper management of thyroid dysfunction in women with AUB can avoid variety of non-specific and ineffective diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Background:. AUB is any abnormal uterine bleeding in the absence of any palpable pelvic pathology and demonstrable extra genital causes. AUB is responsible for 10% of gynaecological complaints.Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism leads to menstrual irregularities. Females with thyroid gland abnormality have chances of reproductive abnormalities ranging from abnormal sexual development, menstrual irregularities, infertility and premature menopause.The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and to assess the menstrul pattern in women with thyroid disorder Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Total100 women of reproductive age group between 15-45 years women with abnormal bleeding were studied.Quantitative determination of T3, T4, and TSH by CLIAestimated in autoanlyser. Results: About 100 women participated in the study in which Most of the subjects belong to 26-30 years of age group(30%)followed by20-25 yrs(22%).13% in age group36-40.menorrhagia was the most common presenting symptom(66%)followed by oligomenorrhoea(21%) Thyroid disorders were prevalent in 22%.hypothyroid in 20%and hyperthyroidism in 2%.Majority had menorrhagia 66%followed by oligomenorrhea21%.among thyroid dysfunction 63.3%had menorrhagia and 36.36% had oligomenorrhea.

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.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most commonly encountered gynecological problem and almost 33 % of women in gynecological outpatient department presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. Dilatation and curettage (D and C) have been the main diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding patients for decades. The objective of the present study was to analyze the different types of endometrial histopathology of patients presented with the abnormal uterine bleeding and its correlation with the different types of abnormal uterine bleedingMethods: This is a retrospective study, conducted in a medical college in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology over a period of one year from June ’17 to June ’18. All cases of AUB more than 35 years of the age group who underwent D and C procedure were included in this study. Total 100 patients were analyzed.Results: Total 100 patients were analyzed. Age group ranges from 35-58 years and most common age group presenting with AUB was 35-39 years. The most common presenting complaint was menorrhagia 54% (54/100). Histopathology of endometrium showed non-organic causes in 80% (80/100) of AUB patients and the remaining 20% (20/100) had organic causes. Most common endometrial histopathology among non-organic causes was proliferative endometrium 43.75% (35/80) and the most common organic cause was endometrial polyp 40% (8/20). Endometrial hyperplasia was found in 30% (6/20) and endometrial carcinoma was found in 20% (4/20) of cases among organic causes.Conclusions: D and C is the useful and the cost-effective diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of AUB. Histopathological evaluation of endometrial samples is especially indicated in AUB patients to rule out carcinoma and preneoplastic conditions as histopathology is 100% diagnostic in cases of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.

Background: This study was undertaken to study the endometrial histology in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding in the absence of palpable pelvic pathology, which helps in choosing the right modality of treatment in a particular age group with a specific histological change. The study of endometrium in dysfunctional uterine bleeding was undertaken to correlate clinical presentations with histopathological studies and to correlate the distribution of histopathological findings in various age groups.Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College and Hospital during the period 01.07.2017 to 31.05.2018. Patients presenting to Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College and Hospital with abnormal uterine bleeding form the material of this study. Cases have been selected by using purposive sampling technique.Results: An ovulatory cycles were more common than ovulatory cycles in all age group. However, in patients with menorrhagia and polymenorrhagia majority had secretory endometrium (ovulatory cycles).Conclusions: Majority of the patients were found in the reproduction age group with the maximum percentage in multiparous women. Menorrhagia was the commonest mode of presentation in all age group. Most of the patients with proliferative and secretory endometrium had normal sized uterus and normal looking endometrium.

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.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most frequent presentation to gynecology OPD. AUB is a common but complicated clinical presentation and occurs in 15-20% of women between menarche to menopause and significantly affects the women’s health. Thyroid disorders are more common in women than in men and cause abnormal sexual development, menstrual irregularity, infertility and premature menopause. Objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women in reproductive age group with AUB.Methods: A hospital based prospective cross sectional observational study was carried out in department of obstetrics and gynecology, Mazumdar-Shaw Cancer and Medical Center and Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital at Narayana Health City, Bangalore with abnormal uterine bleeding during the period of 2 years (December 2015 to November 2017), total 153 patients were included in the study. All women with AUB in reproductive age group were included. Diagnosed cases of ovarian cyst, uterine fibroid, polyp, adenomyosis, endometriosis and malignant (endometrial and cervical) tumors were excluded. Women who are on drugs or hormone therapy (for past 3 months. IUCD users/oral contraceptives pill user. Patients with known case of thyroid disorder, carcinoma thyroid patients with history of coagulation disorder, liver disorder, renal disorder, tuberculosis.Results: A total N=115 (75.2%) of patients who took part in this study had euthyroid status. The estimated prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 24.9%. Out of which n=22 (14.4%) had subclinical hypothyroidism, n=14 (9.2%) had overt hypothyroidism, n=2 (1.3%) had hyperthyroidism. The most common thyroid dysfunction amongst the study group was noted to be subclinical hypothyroidism (14.4%).Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of thyroid disorders in cases which are clinically diagnosed as AUB. TSH is most sensitive test in detecting thyroid dysfunction. Subclinical cases need to be treated. Hence thyroid function evaluation should be made mandatory in cases of AUB to detect thyroid dysfunction.
