Endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia - what does this mean
Endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia is a condition in which the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus) becomes thickened due to an increase in the number of endometrial glands and stroma. this condition is usually caused by an imbalance of hormones, such as an excess of estrogen or a deficiency of progesterone. it is most commonly seen in women in their late reproductive years and can lead to abnormal bleeding and an increased risk of endometrial cancer.
What happens during the disease - endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia
Endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia is caused by an increase in the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which stimulate the endometrium to grow. the endometrial cells become abnormal and divide more rapidly than normal, leading to an accumulation of cells and a thickening of the endometrium. this results in an overgrowth of the endometrium, leading to the formation of adenomatous tissue, which can cause problems with fertility and menstrual irregularities.
