'''Endometrium with hormonal changes''' is relatively common in [[endometrium|endometrial]] samples. | |||
'''Endometrial changes of oral contraception''', '''oral contraceptive effect''' and '''OCP endometrium''' redirect here. | |||
The oral contraceptive pill is dealt with in the article ''[[oral contraceptive pill]]''. | |||
==General== | |||
*Very common. | |||
*Most pills a mix of progesterone and estrogen. | |||
**The progesterone is what generates the characteristic appearance -- that is similar to pregnancy. | |||

Features:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1082>{{Ref PBoD|1082}}</ref> | |||
*Inactive glands (round/ovoid glands, simple cuboidal epithelium, no mitoses). | |||
*Stroma decidualized -- mnemonic ''NEW'': | |||
**Nucleus central. | |||
**Eosinophilic cytoplasm. | |||
**Well-defined cell borders. | |||

*[[Endometrial hyperplasia with secretory changes]] - proliferative activity. | |||
*[[Secretory phase endometrium]] - glandular changes of the secretory phase (cytoplasmic vacuolization), secretions in the glands. | |||
