Endometrial Hyperplasia

Endometrial hyperplasia is a uterine pathology in which morphological changes occur in the cells of the endometrium and represents a precursor to the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, endometrial cancer. The condition is most often caused by increased exposure to estrogens and a relative deficiency of progesterone, often referred to as “unopposed estrogen.” The condition’s incidence is rising, given the concurrent increase in risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, or other related illnesses. To effectively prevent the progression to endometrial malignancy, clinicians must remain vigilant regarding the signs and symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia, especially when treating patients with polycystic ovarian disease and obesity. This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of endometrial hyperplasia’s pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management. The latest advancements in diagnostic techniques, treatment modalities, and preventive strategies are explored, and the critical role of an interprofessional care team in early detection and referral for appropriate intervention is highlighted. This activity emphasizes the importance of facilitating early intervention and sharing decision-making with patients regarding their fertility goals and surgical risk factors. Participants gain the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively identify, evaluate, and manage patients with endometrial hyperplasia, ultimately reducing the progression to endometrial malignancy and improving patient outcomes and quality of care.
