Abstract

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined as Any deviation in terms of cycle, duration of bleeding, amount of bleeding, or combination of all”. Clinical diagnosis is based on symptoms and signs. The purpose of this study is to detect most common pathology causing abnormal uterine bleeding by studying histopathological findings in hysterectomy specimens and correlate various indications of abdominal hysterectomy with the histopathological findings of the specimens, thus determining the percentage of the pre‐operative clinical diagnoses that were confirmed on histopathological examination. This was a retrospective record based 6 month study conducted from January 2023 to June 2023. A total of 168 (62.2%) AUB cases were examined out of 270 hysterectomy specimens sent for histopathology examination. Final histopathological diagnosis was compared with clinical and ultrasonography findings. Most of the patients belonged to the age group of 41‐50 years and were multiparous. Most common symptom was heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) 50%. The final histopathological diagnosis of hysterectomy specimens exhibited leiomyoma as the most common lesion in 31.5 % (53) cases followed by adenomyosis in 10.7% cases. Preoperative clinical diagnosis were confirmed in 87.5% of cases on histopathological examination. According to this study, benign disorders are more common than their malignant counterparts and leiomyoma is the most common pathology. Histopathological examination is the gold standard investigation for patients presenting with AUB.
