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.

I recently got an ultrasound and found out that my ovaries are enlarged with lots of small cysts around the edges. One of my ovaries is 8mm3 in volume and the other is 10mm3. How serious is this? Is it something I should be worried about or need medical attention for? My periods have been on time and my thyroid levels are normal, so I'm a bit confused about what this means for my health.
