Abstract

  Introduction: Bleeding that occurs between menstrual periods or excessive menstrual bleeding is considered to be abnormal uterine bleeding. Once a woman who is not taking hormone therapy enters menopause and the menstrual cycles have ended, any uterine bleeding is considered abnormal. Methodology: All patients in the perimenopausal age group (45+ 5 years) with symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding presenting at hospital were included in the study. Totally 100 study subjects were included in the study. Results: The most common bleeding pattern was menorrhagia (64%) followed by polymenorrhea (28%), metrorrhagia (18%) and menometrorrhagia (8%) Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis of the causative factor of abnormal uterine bleeding in any age group is of importance so that appropriate management can be initiated 

Keywords: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding; Polymenorrhea; Clinical Evaluation.
