Background:

Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most common presenting problems in a gynecologist's office or primary-care setting (AUB).

Methods:

Between December 2019 and December 2022, 264 peri and postmenopausal women participated in this study in a tertiary care hospital in Beirut, Lebanon

Results:

A total of 114 hysteroscopic operations and 264 ultrasonography exams were completed. Group A contained 149 patients, while Group B contained 113 individuals. 75% of the women in group A were postmenopausal, compared to perimenopausal women in group B

Conclusion:

Using histopathology as the gold standard, hysteroscopy showed to be extremely sensitive and specific. Although USG is less sensitive and specific than hysteroscopy, it still has good characteristics
