Abstract
Hysteroscopy is considered the gold standard not only for visualizing the cervical canal and the uterine cavity, but also for treating many different kinds of benign pathologies localized to that region. Present study involves evaluation of patients of abnormal uterine bleeding with hysteroscopy.as diagnostic hysteroscopy has an edge over blind endometrial sampling procedures. Aims And Objectives: (a) Hysteroscopic Evaluation of 100 cases of abnormal uterine bleeding attending gynae OPD of SDMH JAIPUR. (b) To know the prevalence of various causes of AUB in study population. Hysteroscopy was carried out using Karl storz hysteroscope based on a 2.9 mm rod lens system, with an outer diameter corresponding to 5 mm, without any anesthesia and complete evaluation of cervix, cervical canal, endometrium, tubal ostia, cornua done and details like fibroids and polyps were noted. Endometrial cavity was then curated and curetting’s sent to histopathological examination. Endometrium was classified as having a normal appearance –proliferative or secretory phase or a pathological appearance-mucous polyps, fibroids; adenomyosis, hyperplasia, neoplasia etc. By present study it is observed that hysteroscopy can be used as first step for diagnosing intrauterine pathology resulting in AUB, which is both acceptable to the patient and can be done on OPD basis.
