What is atypical adenomatous endometrial hyperplasia?

Experts say: "Endometrial hyperplasia has a certain tendency to become cancerous, so it is classified as a precancerous lesion." Under long-term observation, the vast majority of endometrial hyperplasia is a reversible lesion, or it is possible to maintain a persistent benign state. Only in a few cases may cancer develop after a longer time interval.

Endometrial hyperplasia is clinically manifested as functional uterine bleeding, with the main symptoms being irregular menstruation, prolonged menstruation and excessive menstrual flow. Most patients develop the disease during menopause or adolescence. Its occurrence is related to excessive secretion of ovarian estrogen and lack of progesterone. The main clinical manifestation is functional uterine bleeding, which can occur in women of childbearing age and menopausal women. Endometrial hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma are a continuous evolutionary process both in morphology and biology.

Normal thickness of the endometrium

1. Proliferative phase: The proliferative phase of women is generally from the fifth to the ninth day of menstruation. At this time, the endometrium of women is very thin. In the early stage of endometrial hyperplasia, the thickness of the endometrium is about 4-6mm. When it reaches the middle of the proliferative area, the thickness of the endometrium will increase to 8-10mm. At the end of the proliferative phase, the thickness of the endometrium will increase to about 9-10mm.

2. Secretory phase: Generally, within 1-5 days after female ovulation, the endometrium of female friends will continue to thicken. Within 6-10 days after ovulation, the endometrial secretion of female friends will increase significantly. In the late secretory phase, the endometrium of female friends is generally about 5-6mm.

3. Menstrual period: Within 1-4 days of women's menstruation, the hormone level in women's bodies will decrease, and the women's endometrium will shed to a certain extent. The shed necrotic cells will be discharged with the menstrual blood. At this time, the thickness of women's endometrium is about 8-10mm.

This is all we have to say about atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Based on the above introduction, we understand that there are certain conditions for endometrial hyperplasia to develop into uterine cancer. Therefore, there is no need to worry about cancer, as this only happens to very few patients. As long as everyone pays more attention on weekdays and maintains a normal schedule, it will be enough.
