Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Do I need surgery for endometrial hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the growth of the endometrium is generally related to the estrogen levels in the body. After menopause, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body decline, which can lead to atrophy of the uterus, vagina, and cervix. If your endometrium is thick after menopause, it poses certain risks, possibly indicating other diseases, especially endometrial cancer. Generally, endometrial thickening can be treated with progesterone to shed the endometrium. If medication is not effective, it is recommended to choose a D&C (dilation and curettage). After the D&C procedure, it is important to rest and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia.
