Endometrial glandular hyperplasia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1848542315
A condition of the uterus, caused by chronic, excess oestrogen stimulation due to obesity, anovulation, or oestrogen therapy. This condition is characterised by excessive proliferation of the endometrial gland cells and a greater gland-to-stroma ratio of endometrial cells. This condition may also present with abnormal uterine bleeding, particularly among postmenopausal women and premenopausal women of increasing age. Confirmation is by sampling endometrial tissue through biopsy or dilation and curettage.
