Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition of excessive proliferation of the cells of the endometrium, or inner lining of the uterus. Most cases of endometrial hyperplasia result from high levels of estrogens , combined with insufficient levels of the progesterone-like hormones which ordinarily counteract estrogen's proliferative effects on this ...

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy or postmenopausal hormone therapy, is a form of hormone therapy used to treat symptoms associated with female menopause. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Effects of menopause can include symptoms such as hot flashes , accelerated skin aging, vaginal dryness , decreased muscle mass , and ...
Levels of estradiol with once daily application of a transdermal estradiol gel (EstroGel) containing 1.5 or 3.0 mg estradiol over 3 days of administration in postmenopausal women. [ 96 ] [ 249 ] Estradiol levels after the last dose with 1 mg/day transdermal estradiol gel applied to different amounts of skin area (200 cm 2 , 400 cm 2 , or as ...
Cross section through the wall of a hysterectomy specimen of a 30-year-old woman who reported chronic pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding. The endometrial surface is at the top of the image, and the serosa is at the bottom. Misplaced endometrial tissue proliferation in the myometrium causes symptoms through different mechanisms. [6]
The optimal endometrial thickness is 10mm. Nevertheless, in human a perfect synchrony is not necessary; if the endometrium is not ready to receive the embryo an ectopic pregnancy may occur. This consist of the implantation of the blast outside the uterus, which can be extremely dangerous. [20] Triple-line endometrium measuring 7mm.
The article explored vaginal maturation index, vaginal pH, endometrial thickness, and dyspareunia. Even though there were lack of evidence to support using vaginal oxytocin for atrophic vaginitis, further studies should be conducted to gain a better understanding of oxytocin's effects and its efficacy on this condition.
Taking a progestogen in addition to an estrogen patch should be considered for women who have not undergone a hysterectomy to regulate the thickness of the endometrial lining [2] and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. Hysterectomized women rarely need a progestogen, however it may be considered if a history of endometriosis exists. [1]
