Study of endometrium by trans-vaginal sonography and it’s correlation with histopathology in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding

Objectives of the study were to study the endometrial patterns in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and anatomical (structural) lesions of uterus using transvaginal sonography (TVS) and endometrial histopathology and to determine the efficacy of TVS.

Cross-section study of 50 perimenopausal age group with AUB in TNMC BYL Nair hospital from Nov 2017 to Nov 2018.

AUB was seen 40 to 45 years multiparous women TVS endometrial thickness (ET) T 6-10 mm (46%), ET 11-15 (22%), ET>15 mm (14%), <5 mm in (18%), showed 21 (42%) patients with endometrial hyperplasia on TVS, 12 (24%) simple hyperplasia 4 (8%) complex hyperplasia on histopathology fibroid 8%, adenomyosis 2%. endometrial polyp 6%.

Endometrial lining exceeds 10 mm dilation and curettage to be done r/o endometrial hyperplasia, to study the endometrial patterns in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding and anatomical (structural) lesions of uterus using transvaginal sonography and endometrial histopathology. Metrics
