What is hyperplasia
Hyperplasia is the growth of a singletissue section. The reasons for this atypical formation can be different, ranging from hormonal imbalances to cancer. In this article, you will learn what hyperplasia is, and how it can be cured.
Causes
Changes in the uterine cavity occur every monthwith the onset of the menstrual cycle. Hormonal leaps are caused by the secretion of a colossal amount of estrogens with follicles, which leads to the arrest in the ovary of a mature egg. If at this moment progesterone and luteinizing hormone of the pituitary gland does not occur, ovulation does not occur, and the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity expands. When the second phase of the cycle comes, the thickened mucosa lacks progesterone, as a result of which it is rejected with heavy bleeding. Remnants of the mucous membrane in the uterus after menstruation and are the basis of focal hyperplasia.
Another "scenario" implies a small orWave-like production of estrogens due to non-maturation of the oocyte. It remains in the ovary, and the menstruation passes very long and wavy. As a rule, not much blood is allocated, but because of the atypical duration of menstruation, a woman loses quite a lot more. In this case, the remains of the mucosa of the uterine cavity are removed gradually, some of it may remain inside.
It is these unremoved remains of the mucosa that first become the epicenters of the growth of the mucosa, and then the "fertile soil" for the formation of polyps.
There are three types of polyps:
glandular;
fibrotic;
adenomatous.
With focal hyperplasia, the thickness of the mucosathe uterine cavity can reach 6 cm. Inflammatory processes only contribute to the progression of the disease. It can be both infections, and previously suffered injuries, for example, severe childbirth or abortion.
Endometrial hyperplasia
Focal endometrial hyperplasiaa disease in which the tissue grows in a certain area, and its cells change their composition. Often in this case, this leads to the formation of a malignant tumor.
While glandular and fibrous hyperplasiamanifested in the form of rounded or slightly elongated polyps with a relatively homogeneous cell structure, focal endometrial hyperplasia with adenomatosis looks different. This is a more dangerous manifestation of the disease, when cells change due to impaired blood circulation or infections. Such atypical polyps are called adenomatous.
Treatment
After diagnosing the disease, the patientappoint a course of treatment. In the process, the hormonal status of the blood is examined, an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and the uterus (a vaginal sensor). Hysteroscopy is also performed with tissue sampling, X-ray of the uterus and radioisotope examination (if necessary).
Removal of focal hyperplasia occurs by the methodscraping of the uterine cavity. In the process immediately the study of the withdrawn tissue occurs, and if there are found atypical cells of a malignant tumor, the uterus is removed.
Focal hyperplasia of the endometrium is a serious disease that is manifested in many women. To avoid his appearance, it is recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle and visit the gynecologist regularly.
