Hi an,
Thanks for joining EmpowHER. Endometrial hyperplasia is a precancerous thickening of the endometrium. It is common with this condition to experience prolonged and heavy periods. It is important to receive proper treatment from a doctor, so if you are to be in that country for some time, you may want to ask where to get medical care from. Treatment may include birth control pills, other medication, or a D&C. In severe cases, your doctor may suggest hysterectomy. From what I've read, the condition could lead to cancer, so please keep up with appointments with a doctor.
Please let us know how you are doing.
