Endometrial histological patterns and associated factors of abnormal uterine bleeding among women seeking gynecological services from referral hospitals in Western Uganda: a cross-sectional study
The prevalence of AUB was within the global range. Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and chronic endometritis were the commonest pathological patterns. BMI, History of genital infection, nulliparity, primiparity, and HIV serostatus were the factors that were independently associated with abnormal uterine bleeding. There is a need for routine endometrial sampling for all eligible women with abnormal uterine bleeding at FRRH.
