Correlation of clinical and histopathological findings in abnormal uterine bleeding

Abstract

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) greatly affects female's health condition and thus proper diagnosis is required. A clinico-histopathological correlation was done in this cross-sectional study of 120 women (25 55 yrs) in IMS-BHU. The most frequent symptom was menorrhagia and the most frequent histological finding is proliferative endometrium. There was a high association between age and histopathological trends (p=0.02). Thus, histopathology is necessary in the diagnosis of AUB and in the effective management.
