Patient's question:
I have endometrial hyperplasia, and I have decided to seek treatment now because I am concerned about its impact on my health. Could you please tell me: How effective is the treatment for endometrial hyperplasia, and will it improve?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 erosion after a long period of amenorrhea. In clinical diagnosis, it may be suspected as miscarriage, or it can also present as prolonged cycles and extended menstrual periods, with bleeding duration lasting up to one month. Pathological examination reveals that the degree of endometrial cell proliferation does not always correlate with the severity of erosion. The endometrium appears thickened, with a thickness ranging from 3 to 12 millimeters, in some cases even reaching 20 millimeters. The endometrium is grayish-white or pale yellow, with a smooth surface or polypoid elevations, and may be accompanied by edema. The cut surface sometimes shows expanded glands forming cystic cavities. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed examination to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
