Abstract

A randomised study of 100 cases undergoing hysterectomy in the age group of 20-70 years was carried out and clinicopathological correlation was done. Maximum number of women who underwent hysterectomy were in the age group of 31-50 years. Abnormal menstrual flow was the most common complaint (66%). Clinically main indications for hysterectomy were fibroid (34%), dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) (26%) and uterine prolapse (24%). Abdominal hysterectomy was the procedure of choice in conditions other than uterovaginal prolapse. Out of 34 cases, clinically diagnosed as fibroid uterus, leiomyoma was found on histopathology in 25 cases and adenomyosis in 3 cases. In 3 cases, both leiomyoma and adenomyosis were present. Out of 26 cases, clinically diagnosed as DUB, histopathological examination revealed leiomyoma in 6 cases, adenomyosis in 9 cases, endometrial polyp in 3 cases. Hence, after exclusion of organic pathology, DUB was confirmed in 8 cases.
