How to treat endometrial thickening

The uterus is the part of the body where women become pregnant and give birth, and it is of great significance to women. However, it should be noted that the uterus is also a site with a high incidence of diseases. The endometrium is a site that is prone to lesions. A thick endometrium can cause certain harm to the body and requires our attention. Many people don’t know how to treat endometrial thickness. Let’s take a closer look.

There are many reasons for the thick endometrium. Hormone disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome and other diseases in the body can cause the occurrence of the disease. We need to provide targeted treatment during treatment.

How to treat thick endometrium? For the treatment of atypical endometrial hyperplasia, we must first make a clear diagnosis and find out the cause. If accompanied by polycystic ovary, functional ovarian tumors, and other endocrine dysfunction, targeted treatment should be performed. At the same time, symptomatic treatment should be started immediately for those diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, using medication or surgical treatment. The choice of plan should be determined based on the patient's age, fertility requirements, and physical health condition. For those under 40 years old, their tendency to cancer is low and drug treatment can be considered first. Young people who hope to have children should try drug treatment first, because after drug treatment, about 30% of patients may still become pregnant and give birth to a full-term baby. For women before and after menopause, the potential for cancer is higher than that of younger people, so hysterectomy is often performed directly.

Standardized medication, long-term examinations, regular testing, and timely assisted pregnancy. Patients with moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia should use medroxyprogesterone continuously for a course of 3 months. After each course of treatment, a curettage or removal of endometrial tissue should be performed for histological examination. Depending on the response to the drug, the patient can choose to stop treatment or increase or decrease the dosage of the drug as appropriate. An intrauterine ring can also be placed. Curettage and aspiration is not only an important diagnostic method, but also one of the treatment methods. Because local lesions can also be removed through curettage. Patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia who are over 40 years old and have no fertility requirements can undergo hysterectomy once diagnosed. However, for patients with hypertension, diabetes, obesity or advanced age who have poor tolerance to surgery, drug treatment may be considered under close follow-up monitoring. Young patients who have not responded to drug treatment, whose endometrial hyperplasia continues or worsens or is suspected of having developed cancer, whose vaginal bleeding cannot be controlled by curettage and drug treatment, and whose condition recurs after delivery, may all consider surgical removal of the hysterectomy.

The above content is an introduction to how to treat endometrial thickness. I hope it can be of some help to you. If the thick endometrium is not treated in time, other complications may occur, and severe cases may even cause cancer, so we need to actively treat it. People should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude during treatment to better maintain a healthy body.
