Patient's question:
I have endometrial hyperplasia with a thickness of 17mm. It started last December, and my menstruation hasn't stopped. I also took medication for three months, but it hasn't improved. What are the common causes of endometrial hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to endometrial hyperplasia, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian functional tumors, or other endocrine disorders. Generally, medication or surgical treatment is adopted. For young, childless women, an endometrial biopsy is used for diagnosis. After removal, progesterone treatment can be used to suppress the abnormal fibrosis of the endometrium caused by estrogen increase. If medication cannot control it, surgical curettage can be performed. Gynecology brings great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding stimulating foods. It is hoped that gynecological patients can receive professional treatment.
