Endometrial Hyperplasia: A 3 - Years Study At a Rural Based Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Endometrial hyperplasia is an important precursor lesion of endometrioid carcinoma, the most common type of endometrial carcinoma. We studied 480 cases including endometrial curetting, dilatation and curettage and hysterectomy specimen done mainly for the complaint of abnormal uterine bleeding. We found endometrial hyperplasia associated with obesity, diabetes, nulliparity, anovulatory cycles and hormonal therapy. Increased incidence of complex hyperplasia was noted as compared to other studies performed in the past. Due to limitations of rural setting the follow-up endometrial biopsy was available in only 85 patients. We emphasize upon more studies on endometrial biopsies in women living in rural settings who have less access to proper medical aids and knowledge of hormonal therapies, in order to have a comprehensive data on the incidence of endometrial disorders. Keywords: Endometrial hyperplasia, abnormal uterine bleeding, complex hyperplasia, rural setting
