Can you take ethinyl estradiol after a D&C for endometrial hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I was carefully examined at the hospital and diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia. It has been a week since I had the D&C procedure. After the pathology report came out, the doctor recommended taking ethinyl estradiol. Is it okay to take it?

Doctor's answer:

If it is simple endometrial fibrosis, it can be considered to use high-efficiency progesterone for topical medication to regulate menstruation, which is norethisterone. After taking it, medication should be applied first to inhibit excessive growth of the endometrium. Generally, within one week after stopping the medication, withdrawal bleeding will occur again, and the bleeding time should not be less than one week. If it recurs repeatedly, it is advisable to promptly perform diagnostic curettage to remove abnormal endometrial inflammation.
