ABSTRACT
Two handred and three patients were reviewed to assess the efficacy of diagtnostic uterine dilatation and curettage. Thirteen (6.4%) had definitive pathological changes of the endometrium; of the 4 patients with endometrial carcinoma, 3 presented eith post-menopausal bleeding. Anaemia was present in 11/3% of those with menorrhagia. The complication rate was 3.4% and the mean hospital stay, 3 days. It is suggested that in pre-menopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding, medical management and outpatient endometrial biopsy should be the preferred diagnostic approach. fora post-menopausal women, curettage under general anaethesia remains the diagnostic method of choice
