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.

My mom's uterus report says it's bulky and anteverted with heterogeneous myometrial echogenicity. Is it safe to delay surgery for a month or should we act sooner? What could this mean for her health?

If she has symptoms like pain or excess bleeding, she will definitely need treatment. There are couple of non surgical treatments as well. If you have been advised surgery, you can do it as soon as possible. 1 month wait is okay
