About Endometrial Hyperplasia

Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition characterized by an excessive thickening of the uterine lining (endometrium), often due to an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. While not cancer itself, certain types, particularly those with atypical cells, are considered precancerous and significantly increase the risk of developing endometrial cancer. An oncologist, a cancer specialist, manages this condition to prevent progression to malignancy. Diagnosis typically involves a transvaginal ultrasound and an endometrial biopsy. Treatment is tailored based on the type of hyperplasia (with or without atypia) and the patient's age and desire for future fertility. Options range from hormonal therapy (like progestins) to minimally invasive surgical procedures such as a dilation and curettage (D&C) or hysteroscopic resection. For patients with atypical hyperplasia or those who have completed childbearing, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be recommended as the definitive treatment to eliminate cancer risk.

Key Highlights

    Managed by a specialist (oncologist) focused on cancer prevention and women's health.Effective in diagnosing and treating precancerous changes in the uterine lining.Treatment is highly customizable based on pathology, age, and fertility goals.Can often be addressed with minimally invasive procedures, reducing recovery time.Definitive surgical options (like hysterectomy) can eliminate the risk of future endometrial cancer.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding, especially postmenopausal bleeding or heavy, prolonged periods.
  • Thickened endometrial lining observed on a transvaginal ultrasound.
  • Diagnosis of simple or complex hyperplasia (with or without atypia) from a biopsy.
  • Presence of risk factors like obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or unopposed estrogen therapy.
  • As a preventive measure for patients with a high genetic risk for endometrial cancer.

How to prepare

  • Complete a detailed medical history review and physical examination with the oncologist.
  • Undergo necessary diagnostic tests, which may include blood work, ultrasound, and an initial biopsy.
  • Discuss all current medications; you may be asked to stop blood thinners or certain supplements.
  • For surgical procedures, follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight).
  • Arrange for transportation home post-procedure and for assistance during initial recovery.

Risks & possible complications

  • Procedure-specific risks: Bleeding, infection, or uterine perforation (rare with D&C or hysteroscopy).
  • Anesthesia-related risks, such as allergic reaction or respiratory issues.
  • Incomplete removal of abnormal tissue, potentially requiring a repeat procedure.
  • For hormonal therapy: Side effects like bloating, breast tenderness, mood changes, or irregular bleeding.
  • Scar tissue formation (Asherman's syndrome) inside the uterus, which can affect fertility.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • After a biopsy or D&C, expect light bleeding/cramping for a few days; avoid tampons and intercourse for 1-2 weeks.
  • For hysteroscopic procedures, rest for 24-48 hours; most normal activities can resume within a week.
  • Follow-up appointment is crucial to review final pathology and discuss long-term management.
  • If on hormonal therapy, take medication as prescribed and report any severe side effects.
  • After a hysterectomy, recovery involves several weeks of restricted activity; full recovery may take 6-8 weeks.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 2 days to 8 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a few doctors...

I'd been to a few doctors for this persistent stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jayaraman was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue, not just 'stress.' He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time.
