Overview
Progesterone therapy is the preferred drug for the treatment of benign hyperplasia. The management of endometrial hyperplasia depends upon the desire for future childbearing.[1]
Medical Therapy
- Patients with endometrial hyperplasias without atypia are treated conservatively, whereas patients with atypical hyperplasia or endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia are treated surgically.[1]

Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia is individualized, and may include hormonal therapy, such as cyclic or continuous progestin therapy, or hysterectomy.[2]
The implications for treatment are obvious: hyperplasias without atypia should generally be treated conservatively (normalization of the cycle through weight loss, metformin; oral contraceptives; cyclical gestagens; gestagen IUD). Preventive hysterectomy should only be considered in exceptional cases (e.g., extreme obesity without any prospect of weight loss) 1, 4. The surgery should be done as a total hysterectomy, i.e., it must include removal of the cervix 4.
Treatment of atypical hyperplasia/endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia should generally consist of total (not supracervical) hysterectomy 1, 4. Conservative treatment with high-dose gestagens and close histological monitoring should only be considered in exceptional cases (when the patient wants to have children, satisfactory compliance) 1, 4, 6.

EH (unopposed oestrogen effect, benign hyperplasia) is often treated symptomatically with short term progestins, follow up ultrasonography, and/or tissue resampling.[3]
