Background: The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics working group on menstrual disorders has recently developed a classification system (PALM-COEIN) for causes of the AUB in non-gravid women.
Methods: This was a hospital based descriptive study conducted on perimenopausal women with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding admitted in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur.
