Can endometriosis cause glandular hyperplasia

Hyperplasia is a common preneoplastic response to stimulus. Microscopically, the cells in patients with hyperplasia resemble normal cells but are increased in numbers. Sometimes cells may also be increased in size (hypertrophy). 

 

Among all kinds of hyperplasia, there is one particular kind which is named endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) refers to an abnormal proliferation of endometrial stromal and glandular components, which apparently is caused by endometriosis. It represents a spectrum of endometrial changes ranging from cystically dilated glands to cellular atypia. Up to one-third of endometrial carcinoma is believed to be preceded by hyperplasia. Biopsy is required for a definitive diagnosis. Because endometrial hyperplasia has a non-specific appearance, any focal abnormality could lead to biopsy if there is clinical suspicion for malignancy (e.g. vaginal bleeding).

 

Therefore there is no doubt that endometriosis definitely can cause glandular hyperplasia, and serious issues come along with glandular hyperplasia afterwards. To stop endometriosis hyperplasia from happening, we need to stop endometriosis from happening. Here is an introduction of treatments and drugs for endometriosis.

 

Treatment for endometriosis is usually with medications or surgery. The approach you and your doctor choose will depend on the severity of your signs and symptoms and whether you hope to become pregnant. Generally, doctors recommend trying conservative treatment approaches first, opting for surgery as a last resort.

 

In severe cases of endometriosis, surgery to remove the uterus and cervix (total hysterectomy) as well as both ovaries may be the best treatment. Hysterectomy alone is not effective — the estrogen your ovaries produce can stimulate any remaining endometriosis and cause pain to persist. Hysterectomy is typically considered a last resort, especially for women still in their reproductive years. But you can't get pregnant after a hysterectomy.

 

Hormone therapy is also recommended for women who suffer from endometriosis under some certain conditions. Supplemental hormones are sometimes effective in reducing or eliminating the pain of endometriosis. That's because the rise and fall of hormones during the menstrual cycle causes endometrial implants to thicken, break down and bleed. Hormone medication may slow the growth and prevent new implants of endometrial tissue.

 

However, hormonal therapy isn't a permanent fix for endometriosis. It's possible that you could experience a recurrence of your symptoms after stopping treatment.

 

To summarize, both surgery therapy and western medicine therapy have side effects or risks, not to mention all these treatments can be ineffective. In this case we recommend Chinese herbal medicine like Fuyan pill. Fuyan pill is invented by Dr. Lee who is good at treating female and male reproductive and urinary system diseases, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. There is lots of positive feedback from patients who suffer from endometriosis about how effective Fuyan pill is.
