In clinical cases, a number of patients with heavy bleeding are suffering from endometrial hyperplasia. This is a condition that the lining and cells of the endometrium excessively grow outside the uterus. Endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. It is a benign condition but sometimes may lead to cancer.

The primary cause of endometrial hyperplasia is the lack of balance between the two female hormones, i.e. oestrogen and progesterone. Also, there may be cases when there is too much of oestrogen secretion, without corresponding exposure to progesterone.

This is an abnormal condition, known as unopposed oestrogen. Too much oestrogen, and lack of progesterone leads to a situation of overgrowth of cells in the endometrium. This results in excessive thickening of the endometrium.

Endometrial hyperplasia may also occur because of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by multiple small cysts that are in or on the uterus.

The risk of this disease is more in those women who experience the following symptoms, such as diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity and menopause.
