Expert Medical Information
Endometrial complex hyperplasia is a common condition of the endometrium that remains within the category of benign lesions. However, without active intervention, it may progress to atypical hyperplasia or even endometrial cancer. The following approaches should be taken for intervention:
1. For young women who are unwilling to undergo endometrial resection or have fertility requirements, oral progesterone should be administered to counteract estrogen and inhibit endometrial hyperplasia.
2. If endometrial complex hyperplasia occurs in older women, complete endometrial resection can be chosen. Although women will no longer menstruate after endometrial resection, it can prevent the continued progression of endometrial lesions.
3. For women with other uterine conditions, complete hysterectomy can also be chosen to prevent the further development of lesions.
Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition, severity, and individual health factors. They may include medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms, rapid worsening of condition, or if self-care measures aren't providing relief within a reasonable timeframe.
