“…AUB is responsible for more than one-third of gynecologic consultations and nearly two-thirds of hysterectomies. 1,2 It is estimated that a woman has a 1 in 20 lifetime chance of consulting her gynaecologist because of heavy menstrual bleeding. 3 Inconsistencies in nomenclature and lack of standardized methods of classification have hampered investigation and management of AUB.…”

“…Hysteroscopy detected some pathology in 65% (n=39) of cases whereas it showed normal endometrium in the rest. In contrast, high percentage of abnormal hysteroscopic findings were evident in the study done by Lasmar et al [9] which documented that 80% of the hysteroscopies done detected some intrauterine lesions. In the above study, the age group of participants was higher (mean age=45.5) compared to the age group in our study (mean age= 36.85 ± 5.6 years).…”

“…Clinical Anaemia was detected in 30% (n=12) of the subjects and all of them presented with menorrhagia. In a prospective study done by Pal et al, [9] majority (n=35) of the study participants had irregular heavy flow and few (n=19) had regular flow. The study recorded an equal prevalence of intrauterine cavitary lesions between the patients with irregular heavy flow as well as those with regular bleeding pattern.…”

BACKGROUNDHysteroscopy is evolving as a promising imaging modality in the diagnosis of intrauterine pathologies associated with abnormal uterine bleeding due to its non-invasive nature and employability as a screening technique in diagnosing early endometrial neoplastic changes. Aim-To find out the role of hysteroscopy in diagnosing intrauterine pathology in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. Objectives-To determine and evaluate efficacy of intrauterine pathology associated with abnormal uterine bleeding among premenopausal and post-menopausal women by hysteroscopy and to compare with histopathology.

“…Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined as any type of bleeding in which the duration, frequency, or amount is abnormal for an individual patient. 1 Abnormal uterine bleeding is responsible for more than one-third of gynaecologic consultations and nearly twothirds of hysterectomies. 1 It is estimated that a woman has a 1 in 20 lifetime chance of consulting her primary physician because of menorrhagia.…”

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding in women is the commonest presenting complaint which accounts for one third of all gynecological consultations. It not only causes discomfort, inconvenience to healthy women but also affects their quality of life and impose financial burden on them. This insists the physician to diagnose its etiology and provide appropriate treatment. Hysteroscopy guided biopsy is a simple, safe, reliable procedure in the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding. The objective of the study was to evaluate the uterine pathology in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding by hysteroscopy.Methods: This prospective study was conducted at ESIC-MC and PGIMSR, Rajajinagar, Bangalore, in 50 premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding over 18 months from Dec 2012 to May 2014. All 50 women were subjected to diagnostic hysteroscopy followed by curettage. The sample was sent to histopathological examination. Data was collected and analyzed.Results: In the present study, abnormal uterine bleeding was more common in 41-45yrs of age. The commonest presenting complaint was heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) in 54% of cases. The abnormal findings on hysteroscopy were: Hyperplasia 42%, endometrial polyp 22%, sub-mucous myoma 4%, carcinoma endometrium 2%, synechiae 2% and endometritis 2%. Negative hysteroscopic view was seen in 26%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of hysteroscopy was 91.89%, 92.31%, 97.14% and 80% respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy was 92%.Conclusions: Hysteroscopy and its directed biopsy renders high diagnostic accuracy in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and thereby guiding them for further management.
