Data were entered in Microsoft Excel & analysis was done in the form of proportions & percentagesResults: Majority of the patients belonged to the peri –menopausal age group of 40- 49 years(52.32%).In 48 patients, a definite organic cause for abnormal uterine bleeding was found.The most common histopathological diagnosis irrespective of age group was proliferative endometrium seen in 62 (36.04%) patients. The incidence of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma in the present study were 6.3% and 4.65% respectively.Conclusion:Histomorphological study of the endometrium helps in identifying the cause for abnormal uterine bleeding, which helps in the proper management of the patient. Women presenting with peri menopausal and postmenopausal bleeding should be subjected to histopathological evaluation of the endometrium to rule out pre malignant and malignant lesions.
