Yes, many cases of endometrial hyperplasia and heavy bleeding can be managed effectively without surgery. Progestin therapy is often the first line of treatment, and in some cases, other medical options like hormonal IUDs or medications can help reduce bleeding and manage the hyperplasia. Lifestyle changes and regular monitoring with your doctor are also important aspects of management.
