Overview
A positive history of irregular menstrual cycles (PCOD) may be present.[1] A detailed drug history may be helpful in the assessment of possible risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia. A history of inappropriate hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women and history of tamoxifen use in breast cancer patients may be present.[2][3][4]
History
- Bleeding during the menstrual period that is heavier or lasts longer than usual
- Menstrual cycles that are shorter than 21 days (counting from the first day of the menstrual period to the first day of the next menstrual period)
- Any bleeding after menopause
- A detailed drug history may be helpful in the assessment of possible risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia.
- Inappropriate hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women (with insufficient progesterone component)[2][3]
- History of tamoxifen use[4]
- Tamoxifen is a non-steroidal anti-estrogen that binds to the estrogen receptor and is used primarily for adjuvant therapy in breast cancer
- Tamoxifen may also act as an estrogen agonist in a low estradiol environment
- Up to 50% of breast cancer patients who are treated with tamoxifen may develop an endometrial lesion within 6-36 months
- Any patient who develops bleeding while on tamoxifen needs evaluation
- A positive history of irregular menstrual cycles (PCOD) may be present.[1]
We observed an association between EH/EC and a history of gestational diabetes specific to younger women. Future studies focusing on the relationships between gestational diabetes, obesity, and EC, including age at diagnosis, are warranted.[5]
Symptoms
- The majority of patients with endometrial hyperplasia present with abnormal uterine bleeding.[1]
- Any postmenopausal bleeding should raise suspicion for malignancy.
