All the cases that presented with abnormal uterine bleeding & had given consent for endometrial aspiration followed by hysterectomy above the age of 40 years were reviewed for the important details pertaining to the study
Majority of the patients had Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB)/HMPB accounting for 68.80%.92.45% of patients presented with heavy menstrual bleeding with duration of 3-6 months reflecting that AUB is a major concern to them as it hinders with their day to day activities and make them prone to anemia and its ill effects (Table 2)

Summary

Introduction

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) may be acute or chronic and is defined as bleeding from the uterine corpus that is abnormal in regularity, volume, frequency or duration and occurs in absence of pregnancy [1,2]. It is a clinical presentation of benign or malignant lesions of female genital tract and not a disease and accounts for more than 70% of all gynecological consultations in the peri and post-menopausal age group [3]. Conclusion: Every woman presenting with AUB more than 40 Years must undergo endometrial aspiration assessment prior to hysterectomy to rule out any underlying malignancy and every hysterectomy specimen should be sent for final histopathological diagnosis as it is necessary for confirmation of the diagnosis as well as proper management and counseling of the patients
