HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Endometrial hyperplasia can be considered a precursor to cancer. With simple hyperplasia, as in your case, the risk of progression to cancer is less than 1%.
This means that your risk of progression is very low.
It would normally be treated with the use of progestins. There are different progestins that can be used and your doctor will likely discuss them with you to determine which would be right for you.
I hope this helps
