Patient's question:
My mother has been experiencing frequent lower abdominal pain recently, irregular menstruation, and an increase in yellow leukorrhea. She said she has chronic endometrial hyperplasia. How should this be treated? Please; what treatment is needed for endometrial hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperplasia is primarily considered an endocrine issue. This condition is generally abnormal during menopause. It is recommended to undergo an endocrine radioimmunoassay to identify the underlying cause, followed by targeted treatment. Progestins can be used to cause the endometrium to shed. If medication is ineffective, it is advised to consider a dilation and curettage (D&C). After the procedure, rest is important, and maintaining external genital hygiene is crucial. The D&C can also use the endometrium for a biopsy, which can confirm the type of endometrial hyperplasia. This gynecological condition is serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. Thank you.
