abnormal thickening of the endometrium caused by excessive cell growth.
An overgrowth of the endometrium, which is caused by estrogen over-stimulation without sufficient progesterone. This can lead to atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer.
The Condition"...This diagnosis can only be made by a pathologist who examines a sample of tissue removed from the thickened lining by a sampling procedure such as endometrial biopsy or dilatation and curettage (D&C)..."
An overgrowth in the uterine lining (endometrium). It can cause abnormal menstrual bleeding and can become precancerous.
an abnormal change in the inner lining of the uterus that occurs most often to women who are experiencing change of life, when there is prolonged production of estrogen
An overgrowth of the lining of the uterus which is due to too much estrogen for a period of time and not enough progesterone.
A condition characterized by overgrowth of the lining of the uterus. Hyperplasia means overgrowth. The endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus.
An increase in the bulk of the inner lining of the uterus.
Overgrowth of the endometrium, caused usually by prolonged action of estrogen unopposed by progesterone (i.e. prolonged anovulation), as is the case in, particularly, the polycystic ovary syndrome. Potentially dangerous, because it can turn to cancer of the endometrium. Can be suspected by an echogenic appearance of the endometrium on transvaginal ultrasound and is confirmed by pathological examination of tissue obtained at curettage.
unhealthy buildup of the endometrium due to an imbalance in the levels of estrogen and progesterone.
