Hello,
Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition in which the endometrium (lining of the uterus) is abnormally thick. There are four types of endometrial hyperplasia.
The types vary by the amount of abnormal cells and the presence of cell changes.
These types are: simple endometrial hyperplasia, complex endometrial hyperplasia, simple atypical endometrial hyperplasia, and complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia.
Symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia: The primary symptom of endometrial hyperplasia is abnormal menstrual bleeding.
There can be: Menstrual bleeding that is heavier or longer-lasting than usual.
Menstrual cycles (amount of time between periods) that are shorter than 21 days. Menstrual bleeding between menstrual periods. Not having a period (pre-menopause).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
