Histopathological Pattern of Endometrium in Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Abstract: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the commonest complaints in women and when it occurs without organic lesions like tumor, inflammation, it is called as dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The aim of this study was to find the histopathological pattern of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in all age groups. This is a prospective cohort study of 221 patients admitted over the period 2012 and May 2014 to the Obstetric Gynecologic University Hospital Queen Geraldine, in Tirana, Albania. Cases of AUB with a probable endometrial cause were included in the study. The most common histological pattern of endometrium includes Secretory (29 %) followed by Proliferative endometrium (25 %), disordered proliferative (13 %) and endometrial hyperplasia (7 %). All patients having abnormal menstrual bleeding should be subjected to dilatation and curettage to rule out endometrial pathology.
