Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is defined as bleeding not associated with an organic cause in women of child-bearing age.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 eighty five patients(185) with diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding who underwent endometrial sampling were studied. The slides were stained with Hemotoxylin and Eosin stain . Results: The predominant endometrial histopathological finding was proliferative endometrium seen in 99 cases (53.52%) followed by secretory endometrium in 41 cases (22.16%) and simple hyperplasia without atypia 21 cases (11.35%). Atrophic endometrium was most common finding in postmenopausal bleeding in 13 cases (7.3%) followed by endometrial carcinoma in 2 cases (1.08%). Conclusion: Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignancy.
