The objective of this study is to assessment the postmenopausal bleeding (PMB), and investigated their causes, correlation with variable socio-demographic status. A 140-women complaining of PMB were enrolled in this study, each patient had a proper questionnaire filled in, with appropriate investigations that included; ultrasonography, Pap smear, colposcopy with cervical biopsy and endometrial curettage to take endometrial biopsy for histopathology. Nearly all cases were married 135 (96.4%), most of them were obese and overweight 97(69.3%), 43(30.7%) were having normal body mass index. Various etiology of PMB were found in this study; endometrial cancer (9.3%), cervical cancer (0.7%), atrophic endometritis (7.1%), atrophic vaginitis (2.8%), endometrial hyperplasia (45%), cervicitis-CIN (15.7%), cervical polyp (12.8%), and endometrial polyp (18.6%). Bleeding from benign causes and of endometrial cancer occurs at fifth decade and sixth decade of life, while from cervical cancer occurs at seventh decade. The pattern of PMB; mild bleeding significantly higher in cervicitis-CIN; moderate bleeding more in endometrial polyp and significantly higher than mild and sever bleeding; while severe bleeding was significantly associated in endometrial cancer. Duration of PMB had a vast range (4 days to 5 years). 24.83% of cases had prolonged bleeding > 6months, (48.7%) with endometrial hyperplasia, (12.8%) had endometrial cancer. The endometrial cancer present in 10% of the patients with recurrent PMB.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effect of Educational program on quality of life (QOL) in menopausal women in 2016 in Hamadan, Iran.MethodsIn this clinical trial study, 100 postmenopausal women were randomly selected and allocated to case and control group (50 per group). Data collection tool included questionnaires of demographic information and Menopause QOL, which were completed by the samples before the intervention. In the case group, education program was run during 5 sessions for 45 to 60 minutes. Immediately and Three months after intervention, information were collected using questionnaire in both groups and they were analyzed using SPSS 16 software.ResultsThe menopause women in both intervention and control groups had similar demographics. There was not a significant difference in the QOL mean scores in before of the intervention between the two groups of intervention and control in all dimension of QOL. There was a significantly difference in the mean of QOL scores between the two groups in immediately after the intervention and 3 months after the intervention in dimension of vasomotor, psychosocial, sexual and physical (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThis study recommend that a unit in health and treatment centers be established for training menopausal women about health care by holding didactic classes.

“…It is important to evaluate the cause of PMB because of its association with gynecologic malignancies (23456). Early diagnosis may help improve survival rates, hence several diagnostic tools such as transvaginal ultrasonography or hysteroscopy have been implemented for early and accurate detection of malignancy (1478910).…”

et al. 2017

The common causes of postmenopausal bleeding (PMB), according to the data from the western world, are atrophy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), endometrial cancer, etc. We conducted a retrospective study to assess whether the causes of PMB in Korean postmenopausal women are similar to those already known. This retrospective study used 10-year medical records (March 2005 to December 2014) of 792 PMB women in the Yonsei University Health System. The data were divided into 2 categories by 5-year intervals to compare the differences between the 2 periods. The most common cause of PMB in Korean women was atrophy (51.1%). Polyps and HRT were the second, followed by anticoagulant medications, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer. The proportion of patients with cervical cancer significantly decreased during the second half of the decade (8.7% vs. 5.2%; P = 0.048). Although no significant change was noted for HRT, its rank was higher during the latter 5-year period. Only the most common cause of PMB was the same as the conventional data. Interestingly, the proportion of patients with cervical cancer decreased during the latter half of the decade, reflecting the changes in the nation's cancer prevalence rate, while the use of HRT increased.
