nursing care to a patient diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia. This also intends to
help the patient achieve the maximum level of health within his capability.

Specific Objectives:
• Conduct a comprehensive interview
• Assess patient from head to toe
• Know the management of endometrial hyperplasia
• Correlate patient’s laboratory result with his illnesses
• Administer medications as ordered
• Provide health education to patient and patient’s SOs
• Assist in patient’s mobility
• Implement nursing care plans
• Implement a discharge plan

Introduction:

ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA

Definition:

Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition of excessive proliferation of the cells of

the endometrium, or inner lining of the uterus.

Most cases of endometrial hyperplasia result from high levels of estrogens,

combined with insufficient levels of the progesterone-like hormones which ordinarily
counteract estrogen's proliferative effects on this tissue. This may occur in a number of
settings, including polycystic ovary syndrome, estrogen producing tumours (e.g.
granulosa cell tumour) and certain formulations of estrogen replacement therapy.
Endometrial hyperplasia is a significant risk factor for the development of endometrial
cancer so careful monitoring and treatment of women with this disorder is essential.

Like other hyperplastic disorders, endometrial hyperplasia initially represents a

physiological response of endometrial tissue to the growth-promoting actions of estrogen.
However, the gland-forming cells of a hyperplastic endometrium may also undergo
changes over time which predispose them to cancerous transformation. Several
histopathology subtypes of endometrial hyperplasia are recognisable to the pathologist,
with different therapeutic and prognostic implications.

• Endometrial hyperplasia (simple or complex) - Irregularity and cystic expansion

of glands (simple) or crowding and budding of glands (complex) without
worrisome changes in the appearance of individual gland cells. In one study, 1.6%
of patients diagnosed with these abnormalities eventually developed endometrial
cancer.

• Atypical endometrial hyperplasia (simple or complex) - Simple or complex

architectural changes, with worrisome (atypical) changes in gland cells, including
cell stratification, tufting, loss of nuclear polarity, enlarged nuclei, and an increase
in mitotic activity. These changes are similar to those seen in true cancer cells, but
atypical hyperplasia does not show invasion into the connective tissues, the
defining characteristic of cancer. The previously mentioned study found that 22%
of patients with atypical hyperplasia eventually developed cancer.
Signs and Symptoms:

 Heavy menstruation
 Extended menstruation
 Menorrhagia
 Irregular menstruation

Medical Management:

Progestin therapy

Because endometrial hyperplasia is estrogendependent, progestins are often used

to induce regression. Progestin appears to decrease glandular cellularity in these lesions
by triggering apoptosis. In addition, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) significantly
inhibits angiogenesis in the myometrium immediately underlying complex endometrial
hyperplasia.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues suppress the
hypothalamicpituitary-ovarian axis, thereby inhibiting estrogen production and,
potentially, causing the regression of endometrial hyperplasia. GnRH analogues also
appear to have a direct antiproliferative effect on endometrial cells.
Laser therapy
Vilos and Ettler reported another case in which a patient with complex a typical
hyperplasia underwent laser intrauterine thermal therapy. After 13 months of
surveillance with transvaginal sonography, there was no evidence of disease.
Surgical Management:
Thermal balloon ablation
The patient initially presented with a complaint of menorrhagia and had a
preoperative endometrial biopsy that showed no evidence of hyperplasia. When she
subsequently underwent a thermal balloon ablation procedure, a curettage specimen
indicated complex hyperplasia with atypia. The patient underwent a hysterectomy 8
months later, at which time no pathologic evidence of persistent hyperplasia or
carcinoma was found.
Hysterectomy
It is best treated surgically with hysterectomy. However, if a patient desires
future pregnancy, a trial of hormonal treatment may be given.
Nursing Interventions:

• Assess patient’s bleeding

• Prepare patient for D/C
• Stop bleeding
• Monitor vital signs
• Promote weight reduction
• Promote regular aerobic exercise
• Increase fluid intake
• Administer medications as ordered
 HEALTH HISTORY
CHIEF COMPLAINTS:
Patient J.D. is a 35 year old woman, married, residing at Basak, Rizal, Maasin
City. She was born on March 17, 1975. She is a Filipino citizen and a Mormon. She is a
housewife . She was admitted on February 13, 2010 at 10 am for vaginal bleeding.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

According to patient, it was 7 days before admission that patient J.D. experienced
bleeding. Two days prior to admission, patient had a headache, fever and chills. On the
night of February 12, 2010, she experienced heavy bleeding that’s why they brought him
at SOYMPH through a van. She was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia by Dr.
Beneliana Dajao. She was hooked with D5NM 1L@40gtts/min.

PAST HEALTH HISTORY:

According to patient J.D., she had her first menstruation when she was 13 years
old. According to her mother, she was brought to the hospital since she was still 1month
old every month due to asthma. She was also brought to the hospital last 2 years due to
allergy. She had measles, mumps and chickenpox when she was young. Patient’s mother
added that the patient was fully immunized.

FAMILY HEALTH HISTORY:

According to patient J.D., her paternal side has a history of hypertension and lung
disease and her maternal side has a history of heart disease.

 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Uterus

The uterus (Latin word for womb) is a major female hormone-responsive

reproductive sex organ of most mammals, including humans. It is within the uterus that
the fetus develops during gestation.

The uterus is located inside the pelvis immediately dorsal (and usually somewhat
rostral) to the urinary bladder and ventral to the rectum. The human uterus is pear-shaped
and about 3 in. (7.6 cm) long. A females uterus can be divided anatomically into four
segments: The fundus, corpus, cervix and the internal os.

Regions

From outside to inside, the path to the uterus is as follows:

• Vulva
• Vagina
• Cervix uteri - "neck of uterus"
o External orifice of the uterus
o Canal of the cervix
o Internal orifice of the uterus
• corpus uteri - "Body of uterus"
o Cavity of the body of the uterus
o Fundus (uterus)

Layers

The layers, from innermost to outermost, are as follows:

Endometrium
The lining of the uterine cavity is called the "endometrium". It consists of the
functional endometrium and the basal endometrium from which the former arises.
Damage to the basal endometrium results in adhesion formation and/or fibrosis
(Asherman's syndrome). In most mammals, including humans, the endometrium
builds a lining periodically which is shed or reabsorbed if no pregnancy occurs.
Shedding of the functional endometrial lining in humans is responsible for
menstrual bleeding (known colloquially as a woman's "period") throughout the
fertile years of a female and for some time beyond. In other mammals there may
be cycles set as widely apart as six months or as frequently as a few days.
Myometrium
The uterus mostly consists of smooth muscle, known as "myometrium." The
innermost layer of myometrium is known as the junctional zone, which becomes
thickened in adenomyosis.
Perimetrium
The loose surrounding tissue is called the "perimetrium."
Peritoneum
The uterus is surrounded by "peritoneum."

The uterus provides structural integrity and support to the bladder, bowel, pelvic
bones and organs. The uterus helps separate and keep the bladder in its natural position
above the pubic bone and the bowel in its natural configuration behind the uterus. The
uterus is continuous with the cervix, which is continuous with the vagina, much in the
way that the head is continuous with the neck, which is continuous with the shoulders. It
is attached to bundles of nerves, and networks of arteries and veins, and broad bands of
ligaments such as round ligaments, cardinal ligaments, broad ligaments, and uterosacral
ligaments .

The uterus is essential in sexual response by directing blood flow to the pelvis and
to the external genitalia, including the ovaries, vagina, labia, and clitoris. The uterus is
needed for uterine orgasm to occur.

The reproductive function of the uterus is to accept a fertilized ovum which

passes through the utero-tubal junction from the fallopian tube. It then becomes
implanted into the endometrium, and derives nourishment from blood vessels which
develop exclusively for this purpose. The fertilized ovum becomes an embryo, develops
into a fetus and gestates until childbirth. Due to anatomical barriers such as the pelvis, the
uterus is pushed partially into the abdomen due to its expansion during pregnancy. Even
during pregnancy the mass of a human uterus amounts to only about a kilogram (2.2
pounds).
