Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a clinical term used to describe bleeding not attributable to any underlying organic pathological condition. A total of 187 patients were included in the present study which were categorized in reproductive (<40 yrs), perimenopausal (40-50yrs) and postmenopausal (>50yrs) age groups. One hundred sixteen cases (62%) were in reproductive age group, 47 cases (25.1%) in perimenopausal age group and 24 cases (12.8%) in postmenopausal age group. Histopathological examination of dilatation and curettage (D&C) samples was done to elucidate the cause of DUB. In reproductive age group, proliferative endometrium was the most common finding (26.8%) followed by irregular maturation (25%).Complex hyperplasia was seen in 6 cases, out of which 1 case showed atypia. Nineteen cases (16.4%) showed associated endometritis. No case of malignancy was observed in this group. In perimenopausal age group, simple hyperplasia was the most frequent finding (29.8%).Complex hyperplasia was seen in 3 cases, out of which 1 revealed atypia. Three cases of malignancy (6.4%) were reported. In postmenopausal age group, most frequent finding in DUB was complex hyperplasia seen in 8 cases (33.3%), out of which 2 cases showed atypia. Six cases (25%) of simple hyperplasia and 4 cases (16.7%) of malignancy were reported. Atrophic endometrium was observed in D&C samples from 6 patients (25%).
