The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. Thickness of the endometrium at the age of 47 may be due to simple hyperplasia of the endometrium, atypical hyperplasia, and endometrial cancer, which can be treated by taking medications such as dextroprogesterone, as well as by surgery, chemotherapy, and other means.
1. Simple endometrial hyperplasia: Simple endometrial hyperplasia can be characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, which can be mistaken for menopause, and can be treated with oral progestins such as dextroprogesterone.
2. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia: The risk of cancer of atypical endometrial hyperplasia is significantly higher than that of simple hyperplasia. For older patients who do not have any reproductive requirement, total hysterectomy or total hysterectomy with double adnexa can be performed under the advice of doctor.
3. Endometrial cancer: Surgery is the main treatment for early-stage endometrial cancer patients, and adjuvant treatment such as chemotherapy is chosen according to high-risk factors after surgery, while chemotherapy is the main treatment for late-stage patients.
If patients have symptoms of menopause with thickening of endometrial lining, they need to go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instruction to carry out corresponding examination to clarify the diagnosis and actively carry out treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
