Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Post-menopausal bleeding accounts for 9-10 % of gynaecological complain. Certain socio-demographic characteristics may delay the investigations to rule out endometrial cancer. Our aim was to study socio-demographic and other associated factors in women presenting with postmenopausal bleeding. This prospective study was done in department of obstetrics and gynaecology in SMS medical college & hospital, Jaipur. The participants were 102 women presented with post-menopausal bleeding between 2015-2017. Information was collected about different demographic factors like age, socio-economic status, parity, BMI, medical disorder, time between bleeding and presentation to hospital, etc. The collected data was put in the master chart and data analyzed. 45 % female were in age group 50-55 yrs.73.5% female were from medium socio-economic class. Maximum females (68 %) were with parity 2 to 3. 60 % females were overweight (BMI-25-29.9). 70 % females were hypertensive and 40 % were diabetic. Time of presentation to hospital after bleeding was 1 week to 1 month in 19.6 %, 1 month to 6 month in 24.5 %. 90 % of patients with carcinoma endometrium present with postmenopausal bleeding, thus requiring immediate investigation. Lack of awareness could lead to a very late presentation of most of patients, so education at community level is required to reduce this time lapse for early diagnosis and management.
