Abstract

Background: Menopause is an important event in women’s life and it marks the end of a woman`s reproductive life. Perimenopause is the interval in which a woman`s body makes a natural shift from regular cycles of ovulation & menstruation to irregular cycles and various forms of abnormal uterine bleeding. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a very frequent complaint from women in the perimenopausal age group. The histological diagnosis of DUB and its proper management is very essential in this age group.

Aims and Objective: Primary aim of our study was to identify the spectrum of histological changes that occur in the endometrium in perimenopausal age group and to identify the demographic pattern of each histological change.

Materials and Methods: Fifty-two specimens of endometrial biopsy obtained from the patients in the perimenopausal age group of 40-50 years attending the Gynaecology and Obstetrics department were studied.

Results: 71.15% cases of DUB was diagnosed amongst the 52 endometrial biopsy specimens in perimenopausal age group and Secretory endometrium is most common histological pattern.

Conclusion: This study reflects a spectrum of endometrial histology present during perimenopausal age. This study has  also highlighted the correlation of endometrial histology with final diagnoses of the patients, and this may help in diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological diseases of this specific age group in future.
