Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy to counteract the effects of excessive estrogen is the most effective treatment for this condition, also known as endometrial hyperplasia. This therapy may involve the use of progesterone, which helps to balance the effect of estrogen on the uterus and decrease the thickness of the lining. Other treatments may include a progestin-containing intrauterine device (IUD), surgery, or removal of the ovaries. Restoration of blood circulation and acid suppression treatment are not effective treatments for endometrial hyperplasia.
