Benign Endometrial Hyperplasia

If a woman notices heavier menstrual bleeding than usual or outside her cycle, it is worth checking the health of the endometrium, as it could be benign endometrial hyperplasia. It is the thickening of the endometrium, the layer that lines the inside of the uterus, due to an increase in the number of its cells, without features of malignancy.

How it shows up: heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, bleeding between periods, or, in some women, after menopause.

Related factors: hormonal imbalances that influence the growth of the endometrium.

Which specialist evaluates it? The gynecologist and the obstetrician-gynecologist study the cause of the bleeding and define the appropriate follow-up. In the face of striking changes in your menstrual bleeding, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to clarify the reason and take care of your health.
