Abstract
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common and debilitating condition with high direct and indirect costs. Objectives of this study are –To study incidence of AUB in all cases of elective hysterectomy & to study the various etiological factors for hysterectomy & distribution of these factors according to age.
Methods- All patients undergoing hysterectomy at Government Medical College, Kota were studied over a period of one year retrospectively in order to find out incidence of AUB as a cause of hysterectomy. Data including age and clinical indication for hysterectomy was collected for the study.
