Introduction: Endometrial specimen for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the one of the commonest specimens received in histopathology laboratory. Histopathological characteristics of endometrial tissues, as assessed by light microscopy, remains the diagnostic standard for the management of AUB. The objective of study is to find out the histopathological pattern of endometrium in AUB in the light of clinical details.   Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried out in the department of Pathology, Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital for a period of two years from June 2014 to May 2016. Formalin fixed endometrial specimens were processed, paraffin embedded, sectioned at 3-4 µm, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and studied under light microscopy along with their demographics. Data were collected, entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20.   Results: The study included 100 cases of endometrial biopsy specimens with clinical diagnosis of AUB. Menstrual disturbances was found in wide age range between 17-75 years with the mean age of 45 (SD=13.36) years. Menorrhagia was the commonest (n=60, 60%) clinical presentation. Most (n=85; 85 %) endometrium had non-neoplastic lesions. Among them, normal endometrial patterns were commonest (n=50, 50 %). Neoplastic lesions (n=15, 15%) were distributed in all menstruation status with majority in postmenopause (n=7, 7%) and included malignant cases (n=5, 5%) among others.   Conclusion: Post-menopausal bleeding was common presentation among women with malignant and premalignant disease which was present in 15% of the cases together. Timely evaluation of AUB  by histopathology can be life saving with early tissue diagnosis and management.

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the commonest gynaecological problems. Etiology of AUB may be structural and functional and varies according to age group. Histological pattern of endometrial sampling along with clinical and radiological findings remains the diagnostic standard for clinical diagnosis of endometrial pathology which ultimately helps in deciding the management of the patients. Objectives: To determine histopathological pattern of endometrial biopsies in patients with AUB attending Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital. To determine the pattern of menstrual abnormality in patients with AUB in different age groups. Methodology: We conducted a prospective hospital based cross sectional study for a period of one year (1 April 2019 to March 31 2020). Histopathological findings of all endometrial biopsy samples in patients with AUB were examined. Patients were categorized into different age groups and the patterns of menstrual abnormality were also documented. Results: 166 patients presenting with AUB underwent endometrial biopsy. Most of them were of perimenopausal age group (42.77%). Menorrhagia was the most common presenting menstrual abnormality. Histopathological examination predominantly revealed normal cyclical endometrium. Hyperplasia was seen more frequently in patients > 40 years of age. Malignancy was diagnosed in 2.41%, all were adenocarcinoma and was seen in > 50 years age. Conclusion: AUB is a common gynaeco-pathological problem with varied clinical presentation and multiple causes. Functional endometrial changes account for the highest histological pattern. However hyperplasia and malignancy are important cause of AUB in perimenopausal and post menopausal age group's women.

Histological Characteristics

Background: Histological characteristics of endometrial biopsy material as assessed by light microscopy remain the diagnostic standard for the clinical diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Management of abnormal uterine bleeding is not complete without tissue diagnosis. The aim of the study was to find out the histopathological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Endometrial biopsy specimens received from Jan 2007 to Nov 2010 were studied retrospectively in the Department of Histopathology, Helping Hands Community Hospital, Kathmandu. The specimens were routinely processed and the hematoxyllin and eosin stained slides were studied. Results: A total of 300 specimens were analyzed. In the group of patients less than 40 years of age, 73 (50%) were normal, 34(23%) had abnormal physiologic changes and 13 (9%) had pregnancy related complications and benign changes. In the age group between 40 – 55 years, abnormal physiological changes, benign conditions and normal physiological changes were 45 (32%), 41 (29%) and 37 (26%) respectively. In the age group > 55 years, there were 3(21%) malignant and 3(21%) benign conditions. There were 5(36%) unsatisfactory samples in this age group. Conclusion: It is important to know the histological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups since it will help in the management of the cases. In this study endometrial hyperplasias were seen in 55 cases (18.8%). The importance of studying the histological pattern of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age group is to help in correctly managing the cases.

Background: This study was undertaken to study the endometrial histology in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding in the absence of palpable pelvic pathology, which helps in choosing the right modality of treatment in a particular age group with a specific histological change. The study of endometrium in dysfunctional uterine bleeding was undertaken to correlate clinical presentations with histopathological studies and to correlate the distribution of histopathological findings in various age groups.Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College and Hospital during the period 01.07.2017 to 31.05.2018. Patients presenting to Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College and Hospital with abnormal uterine bleeding form the material of this study. Cases have been selected by using purposive sampling technique.Results: An ovulatory cycles were more common than ovulatory cycles in all age group. However, in patients with menorrhagia and polymenorrhagia majority had secretory endometrium (ovulatory cycles).Conclusions: Majority of the patients were found in the reproduction age group with the maximum percentage in multiparous women. Menorrhagia was the commonest mode of presentation in all age group. Most of the patients with proliferative and secretory endometrium had normal sized uterus and normal looking endometrium.

Introduction: Uterus is subjected to many non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases. Hysterectomy is the commonest gynecological surgery done for the management of the pathologies of the female reproductive system. Histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimens is done routinely which has both diagnostic and therapeutic significance.Objective: To study the common pathologies identified in hysterectomy specimens and to correlate them with the clinical findings.Methodology: A cross sectional study was carried out among all the hysterectomy specimens irrespective of primary lesion sent for histopathological examination from January 2016 to December 2017 in Department of Pathology, Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital (KMCTH). Relevant history was taken from the requisition form. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of KMCTH.Results: A total of 198 cases were studied. The most common pathology encountered was leiomyoma (60.0%) followed by adenomyosis (14.0%). Atrophic endometrium was seen in 24.3% cases. Chronic cervicitis was found in most of the cases (96.5%) along with endocervical polyp in 8.1% cases. Leiomyoma was found to be the most common indication for hysterectomy comprising 48.0% followed by abnormal uterine bleeding (24.75%) and utero-vaginal prolapse (18.25%). Hysterectomy was most commonly performed in the age group of 41 - 50 years and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was found to be the commonest procedure done comprising 8 0.0%.Conclusion: Leiomyoma was found to be the most common pathology in myometrium and chronic cervicitis in cervix. Abnormal uterine bleeding and vaginal prolapsed were also found to be common. Lesions which can be managed conservatively do need hysterectomy or not, is a matter of great concern. BJHS 2018;3(2)6:423-426.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a very common, challenging gynaecological problem in all age group women. Neoplastic lesions are responsible for very less number of cases but they should be diagnosed early. Endometrial biopsy is necessary for histopathological diagnosis of endometrial lesions and to rule out any malignancy. In present study, we evaluated histopathological pattern of endometrium and different clinical parameters in AUB patients.Methods: A retrospective observational study done in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of SSMC Rewa, Madhya Pradesh in 2 year from 1st October 2017 to 30th September 2019. AUB patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included in study. All data were collected from department records in predesigned proforma and statistically analyzed by statistical package for the Social sciences (SPSS) version 20.Results: Total 366 AUB patients were included in study; most frequent clinical presentation was HMB (56%). Mostly patient’s age ranged from 24-84 years, belonged to 41-50 years age group (44%), multiparous (78%), and premenopausal (53%). On histopathological evaluation of endometrium most commonly nonneoplastic lesions (75%) were seen, out of which proliferative phase endometrium was most frequent. Neoplastic lesions were seen in 25% cases. Out of which benign lesions were noted in 7%, premalignant in 17.3% and malignant in 1% (all in >45 year patients).Conclusions: Endometrial biopsy should be done in all AUB patients >45 years and in selected premenopausal in order to get early diagnosis, to rule out malignancy and to help in management. Endometrial biopsy should be considered as first diagnostic modality.

Reproductive Life

Background: Menopause is an important event in women’s life and it marks the end of a woman`s reproductive life. Perimenopause is the interval in which a woman`s body makes a natural shift from regular cycles of ovulation & menstruation to irregular cycles and various forms of abnormal uterine bleeding. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a very frequent complaint from women in the perimenopausal age group. The histological diagnosis of DUB and its proper management is very essential in this age group. Aims and Objective: Primary aim of our study was to identify the spectrum of histological changes that occur in the endometrium in perimenopausal age group and to identify the demographic pattern of each histological change. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two specimens of endometrial biopsy obtained from the patients in the perimenopausal age group of 40-50 years attending the Gynaecology and Obstetrics department were studied. Results: 71.15% cases of DUB was diagnosed amongst the 52 endometrial biopsy specimens in perimenopausal age group and Secretory endometrium is most common histological pattern. Conclusion: This study reflects a spectrum of endometrial histology present during perimenopausal age. This study has  also highlighted the correlation of endometrial histology with final diagnoses of the patients, and this may help in diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological diseases of this specific age group in future.

Background: It is estimated that 9-30% of women of reproductive age suffer from menorrhagia. Because most cases are associated with anovulatory menstrual cycles, adolescent and perimenopausal women are particularly vulnerable to this particular condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the histopathological pattern of endometrial biopsy from patients presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study done in Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar, Nepal for a period of three years from June 2012 to June 2015. All the patients presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding and who underwent endometrial biopsy were included in this study. Distribution of various histopathological patterns was observed in the different age groups.Results: A total of 300 cases were included in my study. The commonest pattern in these patients was proliferative endometrium 61 (%). The commonest pathology was simple cystic hyperplasia (13.3%). Other patterns identified were secretory endometrium, chronic endometritis and pill endometrium. Malignant lesion comprised of 8 (2.7%) of patients and the majority was in >50 years followed by in between 41-50 years of age. Atrophic endometrium was the commonest finding in post menopausal bleeding, comprising of 11 cases (3.6%), followed by endometrial carcinoma of 8 cases (2.7%).Conclusion: As observed from the study, there is an age specific association of endometrial bleeding, with highest incidence in perimenopausal age group. Hence, dilatation and curettage is helpful for diagnosis, to assess therapeutic response and to know the pathological incidence of organic lesions in cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Aims: To study the association of clinical profile of patients with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding with the different endometrial histopathological patterns Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was done in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a hospital in Karnataka, India from January 2017 to January 2019. Medical records were reviewed for all the cases of abnormal uterine bleeding who underwent endometrial biopsy. Results: There were 148 records of endometrial biopsies; >55% were in 41-50 years age group; 28% had postmenopausal bleeding; and 28% presented with menorrhagia. Menorrhagia and menometrorrhagia were equally common under 50 years of age. The various physiological patterns of endometrium (proliferative, secretory & menstruating endometrium) were noted in more than half the cases (51%). Proliferative endometrium was in 37%, followed by hyperplasia without atypia in 22% and only 3% showed malignancy; all of whom were in the postmenopausal group. Even in women with post menopausal bleeding, proliferative pattern was the commonest (33%), followed by atrophic endometrium and malignancy. Atypical hyperplasia was found to be most commonly associated with post menopausal bleeding. Conclusions: Both physiological and non physiological endometrial patterns were seen almost equally among the AUB cases. The knowledge of endometrial pattern in a case of AUB helps to decide a plan of management. Endometrial sampling plays a very important role in management of AUB, especially in the age group of more than 40 yrs; i.e, the peri and post-menopausal age groups, where incidence of malignant or pre malignant conditions was noted to be the highest.

The Impact

Abnormal uterine bleeding has a major impact on a woman's quality of life. This study aimed to improve quality of life rather than focusing on the amount of blood loss and also to understand how it affects their quality of life. Patients demographic and therapeutic details were collected (name, age, sex . 80 patients suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding are taken from medical college teaching hospital. The quality of life in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding is assessed using SF 36 . Then up is done for quality of life in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding using SF 36 . This study showed that before counseling the age group of 51-60 years have less physical functioning when compare to other groups and BMI of 0<18.5 have more improvement is seen in physical functioning after . The age group of 21-30 years has less limitation due physical functioning when compare to other groups. Before the age group of 21-30 years felt more pain, was decreased after . Regarding the Quality of life, the impact of AUB encompasses all aspects of QOL with eight health domains measured by SF-36 result shows 32% of the patients quality of life is poorest. Provided to the patients proved to be beneficial in improving their health related QOL. This leads to a conclusion that the public as well as need to increase awareness of the impact of this common benign gynecologic disorder.
