AUB is a common clinical presentation it accounts to 35% of office visits and 25% of gynecologic surgeries This study evaluates the role of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding and its histopathological correlation. Material and Methods: 110 patients with AUB who got admitted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in NIMS Medical College and Hospital Jaipur were subjected to panoramic hysteroscopy and subsequent dilatation and curettage.data were collected and analysed. Results: AUB was more common in 30-39 years.most common complaint was menorrhagia. Abnormalities were seen as endometrial hyperplasia,polyps,submucous myoma and intrauterine adhesions.Both hysteroscopy and curettage were accurate and specificity of 96% and positive predictive value of 97%.but sensitivity was more with hysteroscopy than curettage.hysteroscopy revealed more information than curettage. Conclusion: This study concludes that hysteroscopy is superior to dilatation and curettage in evaluating patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.
