OBJECTIVE: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common reasons for women to present to the gynecology outpatient clinic. In this study, we compared abnormal uterine bleeding self-assessments and endometrial biopsy results in women with AUB according to the menopausal status.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional one and was conducted on 650 women with AUB. Data were obtained by descriptive information form and endometrial biopsy results.RESULTS: It was determined that 29.6% of the study participants were in the postmenopausal period, while 70.4% were in the non-menopausal period. The endometrial biopsy results demonstrated that 3.4% were endometrial cancers, 7.4% were inadequate material, while 11.2% were atypical hyperplasia. Atypical hyperplasia was found to be higher in women who were in the postmenopausal period (p <0.05).CONCLUSIONS: It was determined that the rate of atypical hyperplasia in women increased with age and AUB characteristics. Atypical hyperplasia was found to affect a greater number of women in the postmenopausal period. Regular and periodic follow-up of women with atypical hyperplasia is important in determining the risk of malignancy. The high rate of inadequate material is also of significant concern. The healthcare professionals who perform these procedures must be careful in making the correct diagnosis. It has been determined that women who have experienced AUB over the past year, have delayed their admission to the hospital.Therefore, it is crucial to inform women about AUB.

AMAÇ: Anormal uterin kanamalar (AUK) kadınlarda, jinekoloji polikliniğine başvurunun en yaygın nedenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada, anormal uterin kanaması olan kadınlarda, kadınların AUK’u öz değerlendirmeleri ve endometriyal biyopsi sonuçlarını menopoz durumuna göre karşılaştırdık.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı, kesitsel olarak tasarlanmış ve AUK'lı 650 kadın ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tanımlayıcı bilgi formu ve endometriyal biyopsi sonuçları ile elde edilmiştir.BULGULAR: Çalışmaya katılan kadınların %29.6'sı menopozda olup, %70.4'ü menopozda değildir. Endometrial biyopsi sonuçları, %3.4'ünün endometriyal kanser, %7.4'ünün yetersiz materyal ve %11.2'sinin atipik hiperplazi olduğunu gösterdi. Postmenopozal dönemde olan kadınlarda atipik hiperplazi daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.05).SONUÇ: Kadınlarda atipik hiperplazi oranının yaş ve AUK özellikleri ile arttığı belirlendi. Atipik hiperplazi postmenopozal dönemdeki kadınları daha fazla etkilemektedir. Atipik hiperplazili kadınların düzenli ve periyodik takibi malignite riskinin teşhisi için önemlidir. Yetersiz materyal oranının yüksek olması da önemli bir endişe kaynağıdır. Bu prosedürleri uygulayan sağlık uzmanları, doğru teşhisi koyarken dikkatli olmalıdır. Geçtiğimiz yıl boyunca AUK özellikleri yaşayan kadınların hastaneye başvurularını geciktirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, kadınların AUK hakkında bilgilendirilmesi çok önemlidir.
