Patient's question:
A case of irregular vaginal bleeding outside of the menstrual period, with very little menstrual flow, is it endometrial hyperplasia? What are the causes related to endometrial hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperplasia is generally related to the long-term stimulation of the endometrium by estrogen secreted by the ovaries, and it usually occurs without menopause. Endometrial hyperplasia is classified into simple, complex, and atypical hyperplasia. Atypical hyperplasia is often associated with the development of endometrial cancer. For endometrial hyperplasia during or after menopause, diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C) is recommended, with the scraped endometrial tissue sent for pathological examination. In addition to receiving proper treatment for endometrial hyperplasia, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood.
