Depending on the results of the pathomorphological examination, the patients were divided into 3 groups: group A included 89 patients with GE; group B – 99 women with PE; Group B (control) included 79 patients in whom endometrial pathology was excluded.Results. Among all women who came to the clinic with heavy menstrual bleeding, 33.3% had GE, 37.1% had PE, 29.6% had BUN-O ovulatory dysfunction. GE without atypia was detected in 72 (80.9%) cases of group A, GE with atypia – in 7 (19.1%), in group B PE was diagnosed in 91 (91.9%) cases, PE with atypia – in 28 (8.1%).In group B, in 22 (27.8%) cases, the endometrium was identified in the proliferation phase, in 57 (72.2%) cases, the endometrium was identified in the phase of incomplete secretion.Conclusion. Women with GE are characterized by early menarche, absence of pregnancies and childbirth during life associated with the woman’s choice, contraception, endocrine diseases, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors, heavy bleeding with clots during menstruation, menstruation for more than 8 days, chronic iron deficiency anemia.
