Endometrial Hyperplasia

Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition where the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, becomes thicker than normal. This often happens due to an imbalance of hormones, particularly too much estrogen without enough progesterone. While it can be a benign condition, it may lead to abnormal bleeding or increase the risk of developing uterine cancer over time. Symptoms can include heavy or irregular periods. Diagnosis typically involves pelvic exams, ultrasounds, or biopsies. Treatment may vary from monitoring to hormonal therapies or surgery, depending on the severity and individual's health needs.
