Abstract

Introduction: The PALM-COEIN classification, described and recently published by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), allows epidemiological information in women with abnormal uterine bleeding, as well as thorough assessment and proper management. We aimed to classify patients who applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic with abnormal uterine bleeding according to PALM-COEIN classification.
