Esndometrial hyperplasia is a precancerous condition of the lining of the uterus. The endometrium, overstimulated by estrogen, becomes very thick and develops a certain tissue pattern. The condition itself is not a form of cancer, but if it continues without treatment, many think that the chances of developing uterine cancer increase. Pap smears can alert the doctor to any number of problems, giving the woman the opportunity to obtain early treatment.  

TREATMENTS

• Progesterone therapy is often tried before a hysterectomy is recommended. The hormone progesterone changes the tissue pattern of the thickened endometrium. After progesterone treatment, the endometrium along with its abnormal tissue is shed.
• Hysterectomy. If the progesterone therapy is not successful, then hysterectomy is recommended to prevent the condition from possibly becoming cancerous.
