Hearing the unfamiliar word " Everything is not so scary if you understand the cause of the disease and start treatment on time, according to the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net What is it and why did it appear? Hyperplasia means that in any tissue of the body (it has nothing to do with a tumor) or an organ, the number of cells has increased and this has led to an increase in the volume of the formation or organ.

After such an explanation, it is reasonable to ask the question about the reason for such changes.. But it is not easy to answer it unambiguously, because there are many reasons.. The stimulus for cell growth can be tissue growth stimulants, any antigenic stimulus, various oncogenic substances, surgeries to remove the entire organ or part of it..

If we talk about the symptoms of physiological hyperplasia, then we will talk about the reproduction of the epithelium of the mammary gland that occurs during pregnancy.. There is also such a thing as glandular hyperplasia, which occurs before the onset of menstruation.. Only a doctor can understand all the subtleties, and our task is to give general concepts about the disease.. Because although it refers to benign formations, there is still a possibility that the process of degeneration into a malignant form may begin..

If we talk about hyperplasia of the glands, then there are several types of proliferation - cell reproduction, causing tissue growth, which are determined by the degree of violations. For example, epithelial stratification may or may not show cytologic atypia.. Observe whether there is invasive growth - the penetration of cells into the surrounding tissues, with hyperplasia it is not observed.

With an increase in the thickness of the endometrium - the inner mucous layer of the uterus, they speak of endometrial hyperplasia.

Anemia, some of its forms, can cause the components of myeloid (hematopoietic) tissue to multiply. Infectious diseases sometimes cause hyperplastic processes in the lymphoreticular tissue that makes up the lymph nodes, the spleen.

Between us, women, although the name of the disease is one, common to all, nevertheless, there are some peculiarities. Therefore, it is better to conduct the conversation in this way..

The lining of a woman's uterus is called the endometrium.. Hyperplasia, its growth, is classified as a benign process. Enlargement of the endometrium occurs monthly when, under the influence of estrogen, it prepares to accept a fertilized egg.. In the absence of conception, excess endometrium is rejected, which is expressed by menstrual bleeding. If the process is disturbed, then the mucosa begins to grow stronger. The type of disease depends on how much the thickness of the endometrium has increased.

With glandular hyperplasia, the lumen between the glands of the endometrium is disturbed. But the tissue has a homogeneous structure, the thickness of the endometrium is not more than 1.5 cm.

If cysts are found among the tissues, then the diagnosis already sounds like glandular cystic hyperplasia.

The atypical form of the disease is characterized by a structural change in tissues, the mucous membrane grows up to 3 cm, this condition of the uterus is also called adenomatosis.

Focal hyperplasia means that in the endometrium, in the form of separate foci, polyps have formed. They are also divided into glandular, fibrous and adenomatous. In the focus of hyperplasia, the thickness of the endometrium can be up to 6 cm..

What threatens each type of disease? The danger in terms of degeneration into a malignant formation is atypical hyperplasia and focal. As for glandular and cystic hyperplasia of the endometrium, doctors consider them to be benign, not prone to degeneration.

The first sign that endometrial hyperplasia may have appeared is a violation of the menstrual cycle.. Menstruation takes on a painful character, most often passes as profuse bleeding. There is also amenorrhea - their absence up to six months or more. In general, endometrial hyperplasia primarily speaks of hormonal disorders, which may result in a number of other diseases, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, infertility.

There are several treatment options for hyperplasia, it all depends on its type, how much the tissues have grown and how old the patient is. In reproductive age, conservative treatment: therapy using hormonal drugs. With the right treatment, the growth of the endometrium stops. But if hyperplasia has reached a significant size or relapses, then you have to turn to surgeons.

Companions of this disease are often endocrine disorders - diabetes mellitus, obesity. Women over 50 years old, overweight and suffering from hypertension are susceptible to the disease..
