Postmenopausal uterine bleeding often has benign causes like atrophy, but cancer must be ruled out. A retrospective study of 65 women found 90.8% benign cases, emphasizing the need for biopsies.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Postmenopausal uterine bleeding is a common gynecological symptom.
  • It can indicate either benign conditions or malignancies.
  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial to rule out serious pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of various causes of postmenopausal uterine bleeding.
  • To assess the effectiveness of different diagnostic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study was conducted.
  • Data from 65 postmenopausal women experiencing uterine bleeding over two years were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Benign pathologies were predominant, accounting for 90.8% of cases (59 women).

  • Endometrial atrophy (37 cases) and hyperplasia (11 cases) were the most frequent benign findings.
  • Malignancy was diagnosed in 6 cases (9.2%), including 4 uterine corpus cancers and 2 uterine cervix cancers.

    • Conclusions:

    • While benign conditions are more common, malignancy must always be considered.
    • Oriented biopsy is essential for definitively ruling out cancer in postmenopausal bleeding cases.
