TLDR
Histopathological examination is the gold standard for studying the pattern of endometrium in various causes of abnormal uterine bleeding and was the most common finding on transvaginal sonography (TVS).Abstract:
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the cause for many disturbances in women who are in the reproductive age group. Frequent and prolonged periods will lead to morbidity, social embarrassment, diminished quality of life and compromise of the sexual life. Methods: It is a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in the department of pathology, Andhra medical college. A total of 270 patients in the age group of 18 to 45 years were included in this study. Endometrial samples were obtained and histopathological examinations were conducted. All the clinical details and investigation reports were collected. Results: The age group of patients in this study ranged from 18 to 45 years. Maximum numbers of cases (169) were in the age group of 36 to 45 years (62.6%). Most of the patients were multipara (244 cases, 90.37%) and most common presenting complaint was heavy menstrual bleeding (198 cases, 73.3%). Majority of the patients were euthyroid (247 cases, 91.5%). Normal cyclical endometrium was found to be the commonest histopathological pattern with proliferative endometrium in 45.56% and secretory endometrium in 32.59% cases. Leiomyomas were found to be the commonest cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (15.56%). Bulky / enlarged uterus (77%) and type-IV (hyperechoic) endometrium, depicting the secretory endometrial pattern (36.66%) was the most common finding on transvaginal sonography (TVS). Conclusions: Histopathological examination is the gold standard for studying the pattern of endometrium in various causes of abnormal uterine bleeding.read more

TL;DR: Endometrial biopsies help in analyzing the diverse causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding and correlate it with the thyroid profile and with the thickness of endometrium.
Correlation of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) with Thyroid Profile and Endometrial Biopsy
TL;DR: Thyroid function test is a cost effective, easily available test and can detect a possibly curable cause of AUB and avoid unnecessary intervention like hormonal treatment and hysterectomy and prevent unnecessary intervention in patients with thyroid dysfunction.

Sonographic depiction of normal and abnormal endometrium with histopathologic correlation.
TL;DR: The sonographic appearance of the endometrium was correlated to histopathologic findings in 38 patients who underwent hysterectomy and sonography was found to be accurate in determining the depth of myometrial invasion in adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: There is an age specific association of endometrial lesions in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding and in reproductive age group, one should first rule out complications of pregnancy.
Thyroid Dysfunction in Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
TL;DR: It can be concluded that thyroid dysfunction is associated with menstrual disturbances which get relieved with normalization of thyroid status, so thyroid assessment should be performed in all patients with menstrual irregularities.
Histopathological study of endometrium in dysfunctional uterine bleeding
TL;DR: There is an age specific association of endometrial bleeding, with highest incidence in perimenopausal age group, and the incidence of proliferative pattern was high in this study.
