Neeta Misra. Kapil Agrawal

Background: The present study was conducted to assess abnormal uterine bleeding in women. Materials & Methods: 62 postmenopausal women with bleeding per vagina underwent USG trans-abdominal. Ultrasonographic diagnosis was correlated with histopathological findings. Results: ET was 1-5 mm in 23, 5-10 mm in 14, 10-15 mm in 10, 15-20 mm in 7, 20-25 mm in 5 and 25-30 mm in 4 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). USG found that lesions were atrophic, endometrial polyp, endocervical polyp, hyperplasia, fibroids and endometrial carcinoma. 21 atrophic had 1-5 mm, 3 had 5-10 mm, 1 had 10-15 mm, 2 had 15-20 mm thickness of ET. 10 endometrial polyp had 1-5 mm, 4 had 5-10 mm and 2 had 15-20 mm ET. 4 endocervical polyp had 1-5 mm, 2 had 10-15 m and 1 had 15-20 mm ET. 2 hyperplasia lesions had 5-10 and 20-25 mm ET respectively. 3 fibroids lesions had 5-10 mm, 3 had 20-25 mm and 2 had 25-30 mm ET. 2 endometrial carcinoma lesions had 5-10 mm ET thickness. Conclusion: Ultrasonography (USG) can be considered as an initial imaging modality for diagnosing in abnormal uterine bleeding in postmenopausal females. Key words: Abnormal uterine bleeding, Postmenopausal females, Ultrasonography
