Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) refers to bleeding from the genital tract at least one year after menopause. It can indicate underlying malignancy and should be promptly evaluated. The most common causes are atrophic vaginitis (60-80% of cases) and hormone therapy (15-25% of cases). Evaluation of a patient with PMB includes history, exam, endometrial biopsy, and further tests if needed. Common pathologies found are polyps, hyperplasia, and cancer. Treatment depends on diagnosis but may include hormone therapy, surgery, or other options.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. DEFINTION
Menopause :-
Is the permanent cessation of normal menstruation.
*Women have to stop menstruating for 12 months .
Note:-
The mean age of menopause is 51 with a normal
range from 45-56 years.
3. DEFINTION
Post menopausal bleeding (PMB ) :-
It is bleeding from genital tract occurring at least one
year following the cessation of spontaneous menstruation.
*It is a serious symptom which may indicate the presence
of malignant disease in the genital tract.
*So Every woman with PMB should be assumed to have a
carcinoma until full investigation has proved to the
contrary.
4. The cause of post menopausal bleeding PMB are :
A- Local causes:-
1-Uterus like Endometrial carcinoma ,
Leiomyosarcoma of uterus, Endometrial hyperplasia,
Endometritis , Endometrial polyps.
2-Cervix like Cervical carcinoma , Cervicitis , Cervical
polyp , Cervical trauma
3- Vagina like Vaginal carcinoma, Senile atrophic
vaginitis, Vaginal trauma , Foreign bodies especially
pessaries , Vaginal inflammation , Vaginal polyps.
5. The cause of post menopausal bleeding PMB are :
4-Vulva like Vulvalar carcinoma ,Vulvalar dystrophies,
, Vulvalar trauma.
5-Others like Fallopian tube carcinoma, Secondary
tumors ( ovarian, breast, colorectal carcinomas ) ,
Urethral caruncle
6. The cause of post menopausal bleeding PMB are :
B- Systemic causes :-
o I- Bleeding disorder.. Thrombocytopenia, leukaemia,Pancytopenia,
anticoagulant.
o II- Hormone replacement .
o III- Estrogen producing tumors.
o IV- Peripheral conversion of androstenedione
8. Atrophic Vaginitis
The majority of women with PMB will be found to have
atrophic vaginitis, whereby the vaginal epithelium thins and
breaks down in response to low oestrogen levels. This is a
benign condition, which is relatively easily treated with
topical estrogens.
9. Estrogen therapy
In women on combined cyclical HRT, bleeding in the
progesterone free period is normal.
Unscheduled bleeding refers to bleeding at other times
this is abnormal and should always be investigated.
12. Endometrial hyperplasia
Is an abnormal proliferation of the endometrium
(glands). It accounts for 5_10 % of PMB.
It occurs due to excessive estrogen stimulation.
*More than 3 mm in post menopausal is significant and
5mm for those on HRT.
classification:
1-Hyperplasia without atypia :-
Rx is Progestogens: oral preparation or LNG-IUS (Mirena)
2. Hyperplasia with atypia(premalignant) :-
Rx is Total abdominal hysterectomy as significant risk of
progression to malignancy
14. Endometrial carcinoma
Endometrial carcinoma is 2nd most common gynecological cancer.
Is mainly adenocarcinoma arising from the lining of theuterus and
is an estrogen-dependent tumor.
Accounts for 10% of postmenopausal bleeding.
90% of patients with endometrial cancer will present with bleeding.
Has 4 stages:
I. Confined to uterine body
II. Involves cervix
III. Outside uterus but inside the pelvis
IV. Extended to bladder or rectum.
15. Rx Of Endometrial CA.
Endometrial cancer is most prevalent in the postmenopausal age
group. It typically presents withPMB.
Risk factors include nulliparity, obesity, early menarche, late
menopause and tamoxifen exposure.
Diagnosis is by endometrial biopsy.
Endometrial cancer treatment should begin with staging which
involves total abdominal hysterectomy with washings, bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy and lymph node evaluation.
The need for postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy is determined by
recurrence risk.
Patients with disease confined to the endometrium with little or no
invasion into uterine muscle uterus often Require only surgery.
Where the cancer has deeply invaded into the uterine muscle or
spread outside the uterus, adjuvant therapy in the form of radio- or
chemotherapy is indicated.
The prognosis is good when the disease is detected early.
18. History Information:-
1-When was your last period? (i.e. confirm menopausal)
2-When did the bleeding start? (Hx of bleeding)
3- Were there precipitating factors such as trauma?
4- What is the nature of the bleeding ( temporal pattern,
duration, postictal (cervical polyp or CA) , quantity) ?
5- History of risk factors of endometrial carcinoma as:
- Diabetes. - Hypertension -High BMI –Late menopause
- Nulliparity. - Use of unopposed oestrogen.
6- Are there any associated symptoms such as pain, fever,
or changes in bladder or bowel function?
19. History Information:-
7- Are there any associated symptoms such as pain, fever,
or changes in bladder or bowel function?
8- Is there a personal or family history of a bleeding
disorder?
9- What is the patient’s medical history and is she taking
any medications especially HRT ?
10- Is she having coital relations ?
11- Past obstetrics history.
12- Past surgical history
13-When was your last smear done? Have they always
been normal? (i.e. think cervical malignancy).
21. General & Systemic Examination
General and systematic examination should be
performed to look for signs of systemic illness.
It gives an indication to patient's general health.
-obesity?
-thyroid (hypo-hyper)? - pallor? - pulse? – blood
pressure?
- Weight loss ? - Cachexia? – fever?
22. Abdominal and pelvic examination
careful examination of the external and internal
anatomy of the female genital tract is crucial.
24. Aim Of Examination To Focus On:-
1) Determine the bleeding site ( bladder, rectum,
vulva, vagina, cervix, and uterus ).
2) Note any suspicious lesions (e.g. tumor, foreign
body, laceration, cervical polyp, senile atrophic
vaginitis, ulceration from a ring pessary ).
3) Asses the size, contour, and tenderness of the
uterus.
Per rectal examination: to exclude colorectal
problems
28. Investigations
specific investigations:-
1- Endometrial sampling :
A- Out patient ( Office ) endometrial sampling:
Office endometrial biopsy is an effective diagnostic technique
that is simple to perform, does not require anesthesia, and is
generally well tolerated by the patient.
There are now many devices for performing endometrial
biopsies in the outpatient setting:
- Vabra aspiration.
- Pippelle sampling:-Pippelle : most commonly used, least
discomfort
- Hysteroscopy and directed endometrial biopsy.
32. Investigations
B- Inpatient endometrial sampling:
I-Dilatation and curettage ( D&C ):Dilatation and curettage
(D&C ) remains the gold standard. However, D&C requires
anesthesia and is associated with a number of potential
complications.
* D&C should still be considered when the endometrial
biopsy is non diagnostic and there a high suspicion of
cancer.
II- Dilatation and fractional curettage.
III- Hysteroscopy and curettage.
Hysteroscopy and directed endometrial biopsy.
**Even hysteroscopically guided endometrial biopsy is not
100% sensitive at detecting endometrial carcinoma.
34. Investigations
2-Screen Ultrasound (endometrial thickness )
Measurement of endometrial thickness by
Transvaginal ultrasound may play a role in screening
for uterine malignancy in women with PMB.
An endometrial thickness exceeding 4 to 5 mm on
ultrasonography is suggestive of endometrial
pathology in such women.
Unfortunately, ultrasonography cannot be used to
replace endometrial biopsy as a means to exclude
endometrial cancer.
saline sonohysterogram
37. Investigations
3-Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ):
It is expensive and not practical to screen all PMB
Women. Used for evaluation of endometrial thickness
and to predict myometrial invasion in patient suspect
to have carcinoma.
*MRI early stage cancer
39. Approach to PMB Management :-
-Management of post menopausal bleeding
General measures :
• 1- Correct general condition(Anti-shock measure):
• Hospitalization
• Assessment of blood loss:
• In some cases the blood volume loss may be
Excessive , rapid and possibly life threatening.
40. General measures :
So rapid restoration of blood volume ,vital parameters
is followed by local examination to find out the site
and source of bleeding
41. Approach to PMB Management :-
Definitive Treatment :
The condition after diagnosis treated according to the
underlying cause .
42. AT THE END
