Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy   Patient with abnormal uterine bleeding will be posted for hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy which a gold standard procedure in diagnosing endometrial pathology, sample obtained will be given a code and sent for histopathological examination. Duration of the procedure : 15-20 mins 
Intervention  Pipelle endometrial sampling   Patient with abnormal uterine bleeding will be admitted and before getting induced under general anesthesia for hysteroscopic guided biopsy , pipelle endometrial ssampling will be done and sample will be given a code and sent for histopathological examination . Duration of the procedure : 2-5 mins

Blinding/Masking   Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of pipelle endometrial sampling versus hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy in patient with abnormal uterine bleeding with endometrial pathology which is based on -

1. Histopathological report obtained by the two sampling techniques  
It will be analysed based on the histopathological report obtained by the two screening techniques which will be available in 1 week  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the pipelle endometrial sampling versus hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy as two screening modalities in terms of

1.Comparing the associated complications in both the techniques .
2. Comparing the patient compliance in both the procedure.
3. comparing the time duration & post procedure complications. 
It will be analysed by the subjective experience of the patient regarding the compliance & post procedure complications including anesthesia related & procedural during the immediate post operative period & subsequent follow up at 1 week with histopathological report

Brief Summary  
Women with abnormal uterine bleeding presenting at the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology who will meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study .

 A detailed examination will be carried out including general physical examination , systemic followed by per speculum and per vaginal examination .All baseline investigations which include complete blood count , coagulation profile ,
thyroid function test, liver function test , renal function test , USG . After taking informed consent and explaining the patient regarding the two methods of the endometrial sampling techniques , patient will be admitted .

After getting a pre anesthesia check up done , and patient will be taken to OT on the scheduled day and sampling will be perfomed prior to anesthesia using pipelle endometrial sampling technique .In case of insufficient sample , proceudre will be repeated once or twice and sample obtained in the container will be labelled as A .

Then under general anesthesia hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy will be performed and sample obtained in the container will be labelled as B .
Both the sample with the proper details of the patient will be sent to the pathology lab of AIIMS BATHINDA .
The pathologist will be blind  regardiing the sample obtained and sent for histopathological examination .

Patient will be followed up with the histopathological report and two reports obtained from the sampling technique will be further analysed to come to a fruitful conclusion in establishing the diagnostic accuracy of both the methods in abnormal uterine bleeding involving endometrial pathology .
