Overview
Endometrial hyperplasia is caused by high levels of estrogens, combined with insufficient levels of the progesterone-like hormones which ordinarily counteract estrogen's proliferative effects on this tissue.[1]
Causes
- Endometrial hyperplasia is caused by high levels of estrogens, combined with insufficient levels of the progesterone-like hormones which ordinarily counteract estrogen's proliferative effects on this tissue.[1]
- High estrogen may be caused by:[1]
- Obesity
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Estrogen producing tumours (e.g. granulosa cell tumour)
- Estrogen replacement therapy
