MANAGEMENT FOR PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: Hyperplasia WITH atypia
- If desirous of pregnancy
- Continuous MPA 10-20mg OD x 3 months
- Megestrol acetate 40-200mg OD
- DMPA 150mg every 3 months
- LNG-IUS for 1-5 years
- Do UTS & sample endometrium after 3 mos:
- Normal: decrease MPA 10mg OD x 14 days for 12 more months
- Persistent: increase MPA to 40-100mg daily for 3 months, OR shift to Megestrol acetate 40mg 2-4x a day for 3 months then repeat biopsy, if persistent: EH +/- BSO
- No desire for pregnancy: EH +/- BSO
MANAGEMENT FOR PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: Hyperplasia WITHOUT atypia
- For simple hyperplasia: OCP x 6 cycles
