Dr. Yogita Anand, Dr. Varsha Gangwar

Aim: To study the clinical profile of patients with Abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study aimed at assessing the clinical and demographic profile of patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The study included a total of 50 female patients who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. The patients were selected consecutively as they presented to the gynecology outpatient department. Results: Heavy menstrual bleeding was the most common pattern observed, affecting 60% of the participants. Intermenstrual and postmenopausal bleeding each accounted for 20% of the cases, indicating that AUB can present in various forms, necessitating tailored approaches to management.Associated symptoms were also documented, with pain being the most commonly reported symptom (50%). Fatigue, which could be related to anemia, was reported by 40% of the participants, and dizziness was noted by 20%. These symptoms underline the significant impact of AUB on the overall health and quality of life of the patients.Pelvic examination findings showed that uterine enlargement was present in 30% of the participants, potentially indicating conditions such as fibroids or adenomyosis. Ovarian masses were detected in 10% of the participants, and cervical lesions were noted in 6%, both of which could be underlying causes of AUB. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of recognizing the varied patterns of AUB and tailoring treatment approaches accordingly. Given the predominance of heavy menstrual bleeding, healthcare providers should prioritize the identification of its underlying causes and implement effective treatment protocols to alleviate symptoms and improve patient outcomes.
