Question

the primary cause of endometrial hyperplasia in a high serum level of which hormone?
○ dihydrotestosterone (dht)
○ estrogen
○ progesterone

Explanation:

Endometrial hyperplasia is primarily caused by unopposed estrogen stimulation of the endometrium. Estrogen promotes endometrial cell growth, and when estrogen levels are high (without sufficient progesterone to counteract it), it can lead to endometrial hyperplasia. DHT is related to male - pattern hair growth and prostate issues, progesterone usually counteracts estrogen's effects on the endometrium, and cortisol is related to stress and metabolism, not endometrial hyperplasia.
