How long should one take ethinyl estradiol for simple endometrial hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I have simple endometrial hyperplasia and need to take ethinyl estradiol for how long?

Doctor's answer:

You have endometrial hyperplasia, which may be caused by anovulation. Long-term interference from estrogen leads to excessive thickening of the endometrium, resulting in excessive menstrual flow and menstrual disorders. Generally, hormone regulation is needed for three months to restore the menstrual cycle before stopping the medication. Typically, one course of treatment is sufficient. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use norethisterone for treatment. Norethisterone is a progestin that can inhibit the thickness of the endometrium and regulate the menstrual cycle. If you have anemia, you may need to use qi-tonifying medication.
