What is endometrial hyperplasia and how can risk be reduced?

0

Endometrial hyperplasia is a thickening of the endometrium with the finding of abnormal cells a pre-cancerous condition. It is diagnosed through an endometrial biopsy where a thin catheter is threaded through the cervix and a small sample of the lining is removed. A pathologist reviews the tissue and results are not available immediately. The key to reducing risk is to make sure to have some kind of “bleed” in which the lining of the uterus is shed at least every 3 months, preferably more often. This can be accomplished through the use of birth control pills or progesterone/progestins for period induction.

The primary way to reduce the risks of cancer is to have regular menses one way or another. Whether it be through the use of oral contraceptive, progesterone or progestins for period induction, or otherwise regulating hormone levels so that one doesn’t go longer than a couple of months without shedding the uterine lining. There is no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, but one can minimize the risk.
