- 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.

- 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.

Aadya Khan, a 52-year-old high school...
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.
