Abstract: Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to symptoms of excessive, scanty, prolonged, cyclic, acyclic bleeding regardless of diagnosis or cause. In SMS Medical College Jaipur, AUB accounts for approximately 20% of Gynecology OPD attendance.
In this study, we have attempted to analyze endometrial patterns in cases of AUB and to correlate the histopathology with clinical parameters and age groups.

Endometrial biopsy was taken with the help of pipelle biopsy curette. Statistical analysis was done using Epi Info 7. Mean frequency was used to elaborate the data.
Results: Maximum 125 patients belonged to reproductive age group followed by 65 in perimenopausal and 24 in postmenopausal age group.
The most common pattern of bleeding was menorrhagia (52.3%) followed by menometrorrhagia (17.29%), metrorrhagia (13.08%), postmenopausal bleeding (11.21%), and premenstrual spotting (3.27%) & last was oligomenorrhoea (2.8%).
