Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding, either due to organic or be dysfunctional
cause, is a common gynaecological problems. Methods:A retrospective,
cross sectional, hospital-based study was done for a period of five and a half
years included 1884 samples which were taken by endosampling as well as by
curetting for the evaluation of several gynaecological symptoms.Results:The age distribution ranges from16 to 83 years. 12.8% of (242/1884) samples
were inadequate for a comprehensive diagnosis. The functional cause was the
predominant in 1263 samples and organic causes were found in 379 sample. Themenorrhagia is the commonest one and it is followed by post-menopausal
bleeding and polymenorrhoea. Endometrial polyp was the predominant organic (46.9%)
cause followed by (26.1%) simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. Most
of the simple hyperplasia without atypia (49/99) and complex hyperplasia
(10/28) also occurred in the same age group. Total 29 (1.5%) cases of carcinoma
of endometrium were found and it was common (13/29) in 50-59
years of age. It was noted that (5/29) carcinoma occurred in less than 39 years
of age.
