Patient's question:
I am a 44-year-old woman and have been experiencing discomfort in my body. I haven't sought medical attention for it yet. Please ask: If I have uterine hypertrophy, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine hyperplasia is most common in postpartum women, characterized by excessive menstrual flow, uniform reduction of the uterus, normal or thickened endometrium, and occasionally polypoid formations. However, most pathological examinations reveal normal results, while very few cases exhibit fibrosis, confirming the diagnosis of uterine hyperplasia. It should be noted that differentiation from uterine fibroids is necessary, especially when the fibroids are solitary intramural or submucosal. When the uterine body is uniformly reduced, it is often difficult to distinguish from uterine hyperplasia. Additionally, attention should be paid to differentiating it from conditions such as adenomyosis and endometrial cancer.
