Treatment options for endometrial hyperplasia depend on several key factors:
- Your age
- Medical history and overall health
- Whether you want to have children
- How abnormal your endometrial cells are
- The thickness of the endometrium For women who no longer want children, a hysterectomy (removal of uterus and cervix) is often the preferred treatment, especially for those with moderate or severe atypical hyperplasia.

For women under 40, pre-menopausal, or those wanting to have children, doctors may recommend:
1. D&C (dilation and curettage) to remove the thickened endometrial lining
2. Progestin hormone therapy to shrink the thickened lining and reduce cancer risk

Follow-up appointments typically occur after three months, including an ultrasound to monitor progress.
