It occurs in 10-20% of women between 15-50 years of age. The present study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in patients with Abnormal uterine bleeding. Aims and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women with Abnormal uterine bleeding. To assess menstrual patterns in women with thyroid disorders. Materials and Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study including 70cases of Abnormal uterine bleeding attending the out patient department. History, physical examination, thyroid profile were done and results were analysed.
