The sample of the study consisted of 200 women over the age of 18, married, without any sensory / psychiatric illness and who agreed to participate in the study. The questionnaire form prepared by the researcher was used to collect the research data. The data obtained from the study were analysed in SPSS 21 package program.

It was found that women have good knowledge about abnormal uterine bleeding, especially in terms of its duration, frequency and amount. It was found that the knowledge levels of women about abnormal uterine bleeding differ according to their education level and age.

Retrospective examination of endometrial sampling results in women with abnormal uterine bleeding

“…One of the most important and common reasons for admission to the gynecology outpatient clinic is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) [1,2]. AUB reduces the quality of life by imposing unorthodox physical, emotional, sexual, social, and financial responsibilities on women [3].…”

“…Approximately one out of every three applications is due to AUB [3]. The prevalence and prevalence of 10-30% in women of reproductive age led researchers to a common terminology for defining and classifying AUBs [2]. This standard classification was made by The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) in 2011.…”

“…This standard classification was made by The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) in 2011. This classification is named PALM-COEIN by FIGO [2][3][4]. In this classification, PALM is classified as a polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy, and hyperplasia; and the coin is classified as coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial causes, iatrogenic and not yet classified [4].…”

“…In this classification, PALM is classified as a polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy, and hyperplasia; and the coin is classified as coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial causes, iatrogenic and not yet classified [4]. Although a common terminology has been acquired for healthcare professionals in the AUB after this classification, it is of great importance how reproductive women perceive abnormal uterine bleeding, with which complaints they come to the clinic, and in what period they come [2].…”

“…In line with these results, timely AUB screening is essential in both endometrial cancer and eliminating women's complaints. The results of probe curettage performed due to AUB in clinics reveal the severity of the condition [2,3,7,10].…”
