Abstract

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the commonest problem affecting premenopausal, perimenopausal,
and postmenopausal females and is the most common cause of the premalignant and malignant endometrial
lesions resulting in endometrial samples.
Aim & Objective: To study the clinicopathological correlation of abnormal uterine bleeding in premenopausal,
perimenopausal, and postmenopausal female.
Material and methods: The retrospective study was conducted in the Military Hospital, Allahabad (UP), by the
Department of Pathology from Aug 2021 to Aug 2022. A total of 135 patients who presented with abnormal uterine
bleeding were studied.
Results: The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 70 years in the study. There were a total of 63 cases in the age
group of 41 to 50 years. The major bleeding pattern observed was menorrhagia, followed by post menopausal
bleeding, polymenorrhagia, metrorrhagia, oligomenorrhagia, and menometrorrhagia. The histopathological
patterns observed in abnormal uterine bleeding were proliferative phase endometrium, followed by secretary
phase, disordered proliferative phase, endometrial hyperplasia, atropic endometrium, malignancy, and
inadequate.
Conclusion: Endometrial biopsies are the first line diagnostic tool for diagnosing endometrial pathology because
of its diagnostic accuracy, safety, quickness, and convenience. But lesion such as leiomyoma and adenomyosis
can be missed.
