Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unclear: Certain types of endometrial hyperplasia can be treated medically with Progesterone therapy. If a hysterectomy was done then Progesterone would not be prescribed after. Clarify the treatment plan with the treating physician and confirm what type of hyperplasia was present
