What are the types of endometrial hyperplasia?

Doctors classify endometrial hyperplasia based on the kinds of cell changes in the endometrial lining. Types of endometrial hyperplasia include:

• Simple endometrial hyperplasia (without atypia): This type of endometrial hyperplasia has normal-looking cells that aren’t likely to become cancerous. This condition may improve without treatment. Hormone therapy helps in some cases.
• Simple or complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia: An overgrowth of abnormal cells causes this precancerous condition. Without treatment, your risk of endometrial or uterine cancer increases.
