Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common gynaecological condition for which many women seek medical opinion. Evaluation of these women requires careful investigation into the cause and nature of bleeding with a main focus to exclude organic pathology, especially genital malignancies. Endometrial biopsy is one such intervention which is of immense value in categorizing the conditions. Aims and objectives of current study were to analyse endometrial histology patterns in women with AUB.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted on women with AUB who presented in the gynae OPD during the study period of one year and had endometrial biopsy as part of evaluation. Women between with AUB were included in the study after excluding pregnancy related bleeding. Detailed clinical history, examination findings, investigations and endometrial histopathology was noted.Results: A total of 97 women with AUB who had undergone dilatation and curettage with endometrial biopsy were studied. Majority of women were in age group of 40-45 years and heavy menstrual bleeding was the commonest complaint, AUB (P) 17% and AUB (L) 39%, accounted for most of the clinical presentations. Endometrial histology showed varied patterns 27 % had secretory endometrium, 11% proliferative endometrium. There were 7 cases of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and three cases of endometrial malignancy. Conclusions: Histopathological evaluation of endometrium is the cornerstone of management of abnormal uterine bleeding. Endometrial patterns obtained can be useful in ruling out malignancy and help in formulating further management.
Congenital anomalies of female reproductive tract may involve the uterus, cervix, or vagina arise from defect in development of Mullerian ducts during fetal life. In mullerian anomalies various types of uterine anomalies are common. Many cases with Mullerian anomalies remain unidentified especially if patient is asymptomatic. They are often associated with obstetric complications like malpresentation, PPROM and preterm delivery. Hence we are presenting a case series to summarize the fetomaternal outcomes with mullerian anomalies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
