RESUMEN
Introduction: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is one of the most common causes for the gynecological patients. This was a retrospective study of different patterns of endometrial pathology and to correlate the histopathology of endometrium with clinical parameters
Material and Methods: This reterospective study was carried out on 215 females over the age of 20 years with DUB at our laoratory sent by gynecologist from Universal Hospital and Al-Amal private clinic, during October 2011 to September 2013
Results: the most common age group presenting of DUB was in age group of 40-49 years [40.50%]. DUB was most frequently seen in grand multipara [75.8%]. Menorrhagia was the predominant bleeding pattern [43.7%]. The normal physiological endometrium [proliferative and secretory endometrium] was the commonest endometrial histopathological diagnosis [51.1%], followed by endometrial hyperplasia [26%]. There were statistically significant relationship between the parity and the bleeding patterns and between endometrial histopathological diagnosis and the parity age and the patterns of bleeding [P value<0.05]
Conclusion: DUB predominantly affects women of 40-49 years old. DUB is common in grand multiparous women and menorrhagia is the most common presenting bleeding pattern. Proliferative and secretory endometrium followed by endometrial hyperplasia is the major endometrial histopathological findings. The parity is significant correlated with bleeding patterns and endometrial histopathological diagnosis; grand multiparous women can be presented with any patterns of bleeding mainly menorrhagia with endometrial hyperplasia. The endometrial histopathological diagnosis was significantly related to age, the majority of endometrial hyperplasia are in age >/= 50 years
