Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 43 years old, suffering from endometrial hyperplasia for a long time. Currently preparing for active treatment. Please ask the doctor, what are the common treatments for endometrial hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperplasia is clinically manifested as functional uterine bleeding, with the main symptoms being irregular menstruation, prolonged menstrual periods, and excessive menstrual flow. The majority of patients experience recurrence during menopause or adolescence. This recurrence is related to excessive estrogen secretion by the ovaries and a lack of progesterone. The irregular uterine bleeding in endometrial hyperplasia is caused by anovulation of ovarian follicles. Due to the continuous secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, on one hand, it leads to endometrial hyperplasia, while on the other hand, it inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Ultimately, the follicles undergo atrophy due to the lack of stimulation from follicle-stimulating hormone, resulting in a sudden increase in estrogen secretion.
