Aetiology
Endometrial hyperplasia is commonly associated with:
- anovulatory menstrual cycles: - immediately after the menarche - in the latter years preceding the menopause
- hormone replacement therapy
- polycystic sclerotic ovaries
- obesity - peripheral conversion of androstenedione to oestrone; especially in postmenopausal women
- oestrogen producing tumours e.g. granulosa-theca ovarian tumours - but these are rare
