    Endometrial hyperplasia is usually treatable, and the effectiveness of treatment is related to factors such as the type of hyperplasia, the age of the patient, and whether there are complications. Endometrial hyperplasia is mainly divided into simple hyperplasia, complex hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia. The condition can be controlled through drug intervention, surgery and other methods.

    Simple endometrial hyperplasia responds well to hormone therapy. Progesterone drugs such as progesterone capsules and dydrogesterone tablets are commonly used to regulate the endometrial cycle. In most patients, the endometrium can return to normal after 3-6 months of treatment. Complex hyperplasia requires prolonged treatment and close follow-up, combined with hysteroscopic evaluation when necessary. Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous lesion. High-dose progesterone treatment or hysterectomy should be selected according to the patient's fertility needs. Regular monitoring is still required after surgery.

    Rare cases of drug resistance or progression to endometrial cancer require expanded surgery, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. During treatment, regular ultrasound review of endometrial thickness is required. When the symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding worsen, the plan should be adjusted in a timely manner. People with underlying diseases such as obesity and diabetes need to simultaneously control metabolic indicators to improve efficacy.

    You need to maintain a regular daily schedule, avoid high-fat diet, and exercise moderately to control your weight. During the treatment period, strictly follow the doctor's instructions and do not increase or decrease the dosage of hormone drugs on your own. After completing treatment, annual gynecological examinations are still required to monitor the condition of the endometrium. If symptoms such as menstrual irregularities or postmenopausal bleeding occur, you should seek medical attention immediately.
