Answer by  rosieposey78 (1304)

Endometrial hyperplasia is usually a benign condition that usually presents with abnormal bleeding. This is usually caused by a woman having estrogen but not enough progesterone with the result of a thick uterus lining. Most cases are treated with progesterone supplementation that helps the lining to shed and keeps it from thickening. Other treatments are also available.
