Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Post- menopausal bleeding accounts for 9-10% of gynecological complaints, and 10% of patients presenting with post- menopausal bleeding are diagnosed to have carcinoma endometrium. Certain socio-demographic characteristics of patients may delay the investigation to rule out such endometrial cancer risks. We aim to study the socio-demographic profile and other associated factors in women with postmenopausal bleeding attending out-patient unit of a tertiary care center in semirural area of Kerala. This is a descriptive study conducted among all women age ≥ 45 who attended the Gynecology out-patient department with complaints of post menopausal bleeding during the periodof December 2012 to November 2013. Significant association could be obtained between post- menopausal bleeding and socioeconomic status, parity, diabetes mellitus and body mass index.
