Doctor's answer:

In your case, if the endometrium is thickened, it can be treated with a D&C (dilation and curettage). If you recover well after the procedure, it should not significantly affect future fertility. If you plan to get pregnant in the future, it's best to have intercourse during your fertile period. If you do get pregnant, it's important to undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
Endometrial hyperplasia is usually caused by abnormal ovarian function, leading to anovulation (failure to release an egg). This results in the endometrium being exposed to prolonged estrogen stimulation produced by the ovaries. Long-term use of estrogen-containing medications or supplements rich in animal estrogen (such as royal jelly) can also cause abnormal endometrial hyperplasia, even leading to cancer.
Endometrial hyperplasia can cause menstrual disorders, heavy bleeding, and anemia. If left untreated for a long time, it may progress to endometrial cancer. Additionally, in young women, it can lead to infertility. This condition should be taken seriously and treated promptly.
