AB  - Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) is one of the common problems in perimenopausal women .It
is one of the main causes of hysterectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with
DUB in perimenopausal women in Sanandaj, Iran. This case-control study was conducted on 186 women who
referred to Besat hospital in Sanandaj, Iran. They divided to two intervention (with DUB, n = 62) and control
(without DUB, n = 124) groups. Data were collected using questionnaire by clinical interview. Data were
analyzed using SPSS software and also Chi-square test, Fisher exact test and logistic regression were performed.
Results showed that there were significant relationships between DUB with type of delivery (p = 0.015)
and age (p = 0.045). There were no significant relationship between DUB with diabetes (p = 0.095), hypertension
(p = 0.917) and type of contraceptive methods (p = 0.906). Analysis by logistic regression revealed that
women over 50 year of age and women with history of cesarean section had a respective risk of 2.284
(p = 0.021) and 2.493 (p = 0.009) times greater to develop DUB than women without these factors. The age over
50 year and Cesarean Section (C/S) were suggested as risk factors related to DUB. Therefore vaginal delivery
is suggested in order to reduce DUB.
