Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common reason woman of all ages visit a gynecologist and is one of the most common debilitating menstrual problems that end with a hysterectomy in developing country. The goal of this study was to look at the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients, as well as the AUB pattern.

Methods: From August 2018 to July 2019, an observational study was undertaken in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at the DR Rammanohar Lohia institute of medical sciences in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The study covered all individuals in the reproductive age range who had symptoms of irregular uterine bleeding.

Results: The majority of the women (37.50 percent) were between the ages of 30 and 40. 71.66 percent of the women were multiparous, and the majority of them (60 percent) had a normal BMI. The middle class accounted for 69.17 percent of the population. Menorrhagia was the most common symptom (48.3%), followed by oligomenorrhoea (18.1%), and finally polymenorrhoea (17.27 percent ).

Conclusions: Excessive menstrual blood loss is a common reason for women seeking medical assistance, and it puts a strain on health resources. According to our research, the majority of women with AUB were between the ages of 30 and 40, were multiparous, and had a normal BMI, making them middle-class. Menorrhagia was the most common symptom. The following study highlights the clinical and epidemiologic patterns of abnormal uterine bleeding in reproductive age groups. This is an important factor in the management of these patients. In order to predict causality, more studies should be conducted at large sample sizes with high levels of evidence to give evidence of causality.
