Hello, thanks for writing to HCM.
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia is the thickening of the uterine lining with cystic changes.
It can be a benign hyperplasia, or occur due to certain medications like hormone replacement therapy, or due to malignancy.
Though clinically there is no bleeding which would raise the suspicion of malignancy, I would suggest you discuss the possibility with your doctor.
Ultrasound cannot reliably differentiate between benign hyperplasia and malignancy, hence a endometrial biopsy is suggested for a definite diagnosis.
Hope this is helpful. Wishing you good health.
