Endometrial Hyperplasia Treatment in India

Aadya Khan, a 52-year-old high school principal, had always been health-conscious. She was navigating the early stages of menopause when she began experiencing unusually heavy and prolonged periods. Initially, she attributed it to 'the change,' but when the bleeding became erratic and severe enough to disrupt her work, she sought help. Her gynecologist discovered a thickened uterine lining on a routine ultrasound and, due to Aadya's age and symptoms, referred her to Dr. Evans, an oncologist, to rule out anything serious. Dr. Evans explained that endometrial hyperplasia, an overgrowth of the uterine lining, was likely, but a biopsy was needed to check for abnormal (atypical) cells that could increase cancer risk. The in-office endometrial biopsy was brief but intensely crampy, leaving Aadya feeling vulnerable. The pathology results returned showing 'simple hyperplasia without atypia.' The news was a profound relief. Dr. Evans recommended a course of progesterone therapy to shed the lining, which was successful. Aadya's emotional journey was one of quiet, controlled fear, she had silently braced for the worst while maintaining her composed facade at school. After the positive outcome, she felt a wave of gratitude and a renewed commitment to prioritizing her health, scheduling her follow-ups without delay.
