Histopathological Spectrum of Endometrium in DysfuctionalUterine Bleeding With Respect to Age, Parity and Bleeding Pattern

Abstract

The largest incidence of DUB is in the women of the childbearing age group and menorrhagia was more common in that age group. It is classified into: Anovulatory (90%) and ovulatory DUB (10%). This study includes 190 cases clinically diagnosed as DUB who are attending
OPD or admitted during period of June 2005 to June 2008. Endometrial samples were fixed in 10% formalin and routine processing was done. Paraffin block sections were stained with H&E. The commonest age group was 31-40 years (45.26%) and is seen most commonly in the multiparous women (71.58%). Menorrhagia was the commonest bleeding pattern found in 139 (73.16%) cases. No age was exempted from DUB. Menorrhagia was the commonest bleeding pattern. Endometrial hyperplasia and proliferative endometrium are the commonest endometrial patterns observed.
