Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old female who has been sick for a long time, but it wasn't until I got checked that I found out about this condition. Could you please explain what endometrial thickening and pelvic effusion are?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperplasia is caused by excessive estrogen stimulation of the endometrium. Clinically, it manifests as irregular, thick, abnormal uterine bleeding. Patients may experience persistent bleeding after a prolonged period of amenorrhea. In clinical diagnosis, it may be suspected as miscarriage, or it may present as prolonged cycles, extended menstrual periods, with bleeding lasting up to one month. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough ultrasound examination or a test for six sex hormones before pregnancy to help the doctor accurately determine the cause of endometrial thickening and provide proper treatment and guidance.
