	==Causes==		==Causes==
	Uterine hyperplasia is often caused by an imbalance in the hormones, specifically an excess of estrogen without progesterone. This can occur due to several reasons including [[menopause]], [[polycystic ovary syndrome]], and [[obesity]].

	==Symptoms==		==Symptoms==
	The most common symptom of uterine hyperplasia is abnormal [[menstruation]]. This can include heavy or prolonged periods, bleeding between periods, or bleeding after menopause. Other symptoms can include [[pelvic pain]] and pressure, and increased frequency of urination.		The most common symptom of uterine hyperplasia is abnormal [[menstruation]].
