Abstract

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common gynaecological complaint and can 
have varied presentation as well as different causes. Endometrial biopsy is a reliable and important tool 
to measure incidence of gynaecological conditions causing abnormal uterine bleeding. 
Aims:  
1. To assess endometrial morphology in endometrial biopsies of patients with the complaint of 
abnormal uterine bleeding.  
2. To observe distribution of different endometrial pathology patterns in patients of various age groups 
presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. 
Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2019 to
