Patient's question:
The hospital did an ultrasound and said the endometrium is relatively thick, recommending I have a D&C procedure. However, I haven't given birth and don't want to decide on the D&C. Later, the doctor suggested oral contraceptives for treatment. I want to ask if it's okay to take oral contraceptives long-term? What kind of help do you need: Can oral contraceptives be used to treat a thick endometrium?Doctor's answer:
Using oral contraceptives to treat endometrial hyperplasia also requires a clear understanding of the cause of the hyperplasia. It must be a benign thickening for this medication to be used? I personally recommend that you undergo a diagnostic curettage to determine the pathological results, and then use hormone-based medications accordingly. This is my advice regarding the question "Can oral contraceptives be used to treat endometrial thickening?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
