dc.description.abstractAbnormal uterine bleeding poses a real challenge for the gynecologists Dilatation and curettage has been the gold standard for differentiating benign from malignant endometrium. Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are the recent addition to the armamentarium of investigations for abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was done to evaluate the role of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy in 75 women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Hysteroscopy findings were compared with histopathology in the diagnosis and etiology of abnormal uterine bleeding. Majority of the patients presented with menorrhagia (40%) and metrorrhagia (20%). Hysteroscopy showed abnormality detection rate of 66% as compared to 26.6% with traditional curettage. Diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy was higher in patients with polyps and myoma. Hysteroscopy allows the exclusion of intra uterine pathology with greater precision. Hysteroscopy is superior to curettage, though not a substitute for tissue diagnosis. Laparoscopy was performed in 50 cases including 16 of coexistent infertility, 25 cases with normal hysteroscopy findings and in 9 patients symptoms and signs indicative of pelvic inflammatory diseases were present. An abnormaliity was detected in 40% of these cases in the form of adhesions, leiomyomas, ovarian cysts, misplaced IUCDs and endometriosis. Thus laparoscopy can be complimentary to hysteroscopy in evaluation and management of patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.en_US
