A member asked:
Ultrasound showed: "endometrial hyperplasia" and the tech also said there was "debris" (fluid). what do these results mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endometrial: hyperplasia occurs when the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, becomes too thick. It is not cancer, but in some cases, it can lead to cancer of the uterus.It most often is caused by excess estrogen without progesterone. If ovulation does not occur, progesterone is not made, and the lining is not shed. It usually occurs after menopause, when ovulation stops and progesterone is no longer made.
