In my study among 612 patient undergoing hysterectomy causes were leiomyoma ( 68%), Adenomyosis ( 08 %), Leiomyoma and adenomyosis (15 %),Endometrial polyp( 3 %) Endometrial hyperplasia (3.1 %) endometrial carcinoma (3.2%). Discussion: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common cause for a women to consult a gyneacologist. Etiology is different for various age groups. Maximum cases of AUB in our study was observed in perimenopausal age group. Leiomyoma is common finding in women with AUB followed by adenomyosis.
