Perimenopausal women experiencing abnormal menstrual bleeding, such as heavy or irregular periods, have a high risk of premalignant or malignant conditions. Prompt gynecologic evaluation is crucial for early detection and management.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Health
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Perimenopause is a transitional phase characterized by hormonal fluctuations.
  • Menstrual irregularities are common during perimenopause, but their association with significant pathology requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze menstrual flow patterns in perimenopausal women.
  • To determine the incidence of premalignant and malignant findings in relation to specific bleeding patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 500 perimenopausal patients.
  • Classification of menstrual alterations into amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea/hypomenorrhea, and other bleeding patterns.
  • Histologic evaluation for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Main Results:

  • 18% of patients presented with menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, or hypermenorrhea.
  • 19% of women in this group had premalignant or malignant findings.
  • Intermenstrual bleeding was associated with invasive cancer and endometrial hyperplasia.

Conclusions:

  • Perimenopausal women with bleeding patterns beyond amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea/hypomenorrhea exhibit a significant rate of premalignant and malignant diagnoses.
  • Thorough evaluation is essential for perimenopausal women experiencing menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and/or hypermenorrhea.
