An evaluation of risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia in premenopausal women with abnormal menstrual bleeding

Evaluation of endometrial histopathological patterns in abnormal uterine bleeding: A study of 1545 cases

“…[9,12] However, most other studies have observed a lower incidence with 12.6%, 15%, and 4.33%. [11,13,14] In the present study, the maximum incidence…”

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Perimenopause

“…Perimenopausal women with heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding should have an endometrial biopsy taken to exclude endometrial disease. 20 Endometrial hyperplasia was the second commonest histological pattern observed in our study, 122 cases [38.9%]. Ghani et al has reported a incidence of 41.5% of endometrial hyperplasia in perimenopausal age group.…”

Correlation of bleeding pattern with endometrial histopathologic results in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding

“…18,19 As EH is thought to be precursor of endometrial carcinoma, the diagnosis and treatment is important so perimenopausal women with heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding are often advised to have an endometrial sample taken to exclude endometrial disease. 20 The sensitivity of endometrial biopsy for the detection of endometrial abnormalities has been reported to be as high as 96%. 21 The incidence of EH without atypia was 13.4% and 2.2% with atypia in this study comparable to other studies.…”

“…21 The incidence of EH without atypia was 13.4% and 2.2% with atypia in this study comparable to other studies. 16,18,20 Endometrial polyps are one of the endometrial pathology that can cause abnormal uterine bleeding in women. 22 The prevalence of EP is found to be 10 to 24 percent in endometrial biopsy or hysterectomy specimens.…”
