Abstract :

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common gynaecologic complaints among the reproductive age women.
Did you know that obesity also affects your menstrual cycle?
Why AUB is frequently encountered in obese women?
Obesity has been linked to everything from diabetes to heart disease. But the prominent risk is the changes in menstrual cycle and dysfunctional bleeding.
The current study is aimed to assess the status of obesity in women suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding.
