ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the
most common complaint in gynaecology and an important source of
morbidity. This study evaluates the role of diagnostic hysteroscopy in the
evaluation of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in women of reproductive age
group and its histopathological correlation.
METHODS: 65 patients with AUB who got admitted at DR. BRAMH Raipur in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology were subjected to hysteroscopy and endometrial sampling. Histopathological analysis of the endometrial sample obtained. The hysteroscopic findings were correlated with the histopathology report.
RESULTS: AUB was more common in 35-49 yrs. The most common
presenting complaint was Menorrhagia. Hysteroscopy was done
successfully in all the patients. Abnormalities seen were endometrial
hyperplasia (simple and complex), submucous , and atrophic
endometrium, proliferative phase and secretory phase. Hysteroscopy was
found to be 100% sensitive and specific in diagnosis of endometrial
lesions. The positive predictive value was 100% for hysteroscopy in
diagnosis of endometrial lesions.
CONCLUSION: This study confirms the conclusion of many others that
hysteroscopy is an accurate and a feasible investigation in evaluating
patients with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.
