Over 1 million of these are sudden. Every day 2,600 Americans expect to be alive tomorrow - and they're not. Sudden death brings all kinds of cruelty including problems for the people you love most, unless you have basic documents that make your wishes known. Cardiovascular disease is Americaâs No 1 killer, taking one life every 40 seconds. Cancer causes one death every 56 seconds.
Endometrial hyperplasia occurs when the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, becomes too thick. It is not cancer, but in some cases, it can lead to cancer of the uterus. The endometrium changes throughout the menstrual cycle in response to hormones. During the first part of the cycle, the hormone estrogen is made by the ovaries.
In medical parlance, thickening of uterus is known as Endometrial Hyperplasia. The endometrium is the lining of the uterus, that grows and thickens every month, in sexually mature women. It is shed during the menstrual period, in the absence of pregnancy.strogen builds or thickens the lining of the uterus, and progesterone controls its growth. Mid-cycle ovulation occurs and the egg is released from the ovary. In case the egg is not fertilized, it can result in a drop in the hormonal levels, causing a regular menstrual period.
