Has anyone had a condition called endometrial hyperplasia & tried endometrial ablation for treatment?

---

I am considering endometrial ablation rather than hormone therapy or hysterectomy. Has anyone had this condition, and, if so, which direction did you go and did the outcome turn out okay? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I am going for an to get a uterine abaltion next month. It sures sounds like a better plan to me than surgery and the hormone therapy was a nightmare. Let's hope we're both successful!  (+ info)

A friend of mine has Endometrial hyperplasia and is having a hard time. Any one have any experience with this?

---

Her doctors have placed her on prometrium 400 mg a day for ten days every month but those amounts of hormones are really messing with her liver not to mention her moods. I find it odd that the doctors have not yet performed a D & C or biopsy. She has had several miscarriages and never had a D & C. She has also had 3 sucessfull pregnancies and now has her tubes tied. The doctors refuse to give her a hysterectomy because she is only 25 years old. She is in considerable amounts of pain during her monthly cycle and the mood swings and irritabilty from her medication is ruining her marriage. Any advice for her?
I completely agree with the previous post. I am 26, and I am due to have my hysterectomy on Wed. the 31st of this month. I, like your friend, have suffered many years with painful periods and things of that nature. I have had three children and have had my tubes tied about 3 years now. I would recommend, If she is that uncomfortable and can no longer have children, that she get a second opinion from a doctor who will take the time to listen to what she has to say. After all..it is HER body. I wish her the best.  (+ info)

A very close friend of my sister's has been diagnosed with "endometrial hyperplasia with aytipia. Does anyone

---

here happen to have enough medical knowledge to know how serious this is or if she may only have a limited time to live? She is currently starting on progesterone 400mg. 1x a month.
Hyperplasia is when cells are dividing faster than what is normally seen.
Atypia is a clinical term for abnormality in a cell or the way it looks.
This diagnosis alone does not affect life expectancy.
It is serious enough to require medical attention and treatment. If ignored too long it could turn into cancer.  (+ info)

Complex Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atyipia = Cancer cells?

---

I was recently diagnosed with Complex Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atyipia = Cancer cells and was urged to have a Hystorectomy. They said I had 6mons to a year to have full stage 2 cancer. Should I still be worried even after I had a hysterectomy?
I'm sorry, I don't know that much about the type of cancer you have, but I do know that anytime you have a gynecologic cancer there is always a chance that it can recur, even in a different place. Its still important for you to continue to have pap smears (vaginal cuff smears) after the hysterectomy because there are other types of cancers that can occur. I run a gynecologic cancer support group, maybe some of our members can help you out.  (+ info)

Has anyone had endometrial hyperplasia?

---

If so, what treatment options were presented to you besides a hysterectomy?
Yes, I had a d&c for it worked for a while. They have now reccomended an endometrial ablation, they basically fry the lining of your uterus, it is supposed to stop or lighten periods, but I do know 2 people who had it done and it did not work. I had been thinking about it and decided against it, dont know what I am going to do, aside from hysterectomy and my mom died at a young age from breast cancer so the HRT after hysterectomy scares me. Good Luck!!

I also tried the Nuva Ring, great for controlling bleeding, it was like heaven I have never had such easy periods, BUT I did have terrible panic attacks and loss of sex drive so I stopped it. And all you people who think it is not from BC, my Dr. even agreed it was from that and I should stop.  (+ info)

Can endometrial cancer actually be an infection?

---

I was just diagnosed with endometrial cancer yesterday, after having a biopsy come back 2 weeks ago as hyperplasia. I'm only 28 so it doesn't make sense to me. I've talked with some people and someone suggested that it may actually be an infection, not cancer..
I actually was diagnosed with endometrial cancer back in the year 2000. I was very fortunate that it was just in the lining of my uterus. I had to have a complete hysterectomy and I have never regretted it for one moment. I believe with all my heart that it saved my life. I can't say that yours can actually be an infection. Talk with your doctor about this, let him know all your doubts and fears. I know that any kind of cancer is not something that you delay or put off. If your doctor has suggested a hysterectomy, I would follow his advice. Your life is precious. Good luck and God Bless.   (+ info)

Follow up results after endometrial hyperplasia with abnormal cells: Is this normal?

---

Three years ago I was diagnosed with having simple endometrial hyperplasia with abnormal (pre-cancerous) cells.

I had a D&C to remove the excess endometrium, and have been having an ultrasound every 6-12 months to monitor endometrial growth in the uterus.

My last result was 6 mm and proliferative; the ultrasound was done 3 days after the end of my period.

It will be 6 weeks until I can see my specialist - can anyone tell me if this result is healthy and normal? To me it seems a bit thick for straight after a period, because a year ago I had an ultrasound 5 days after my period and it was only 3 mm.
Endometrial thickness varies depending on where you are in the menstrual cycle. It will vary from less than 6mm up to just over 14mm, and pregnancy usually can occur once the lining is between that. Yours is within that range, so you would still be normal. Proliferative refers to the phase of the menstrual cycle you are in, and means you are at between 4 and 14 days of your current cycle. The lining is being built up again under the influence of estrogen, in preparation for ovulation. It's also called the proliferative phase. So it sounds like you had a normal exam. You will still want to discuss it with your doctor, who will be much more expert in the matter than I am, and more familiar with your history and previous exams. But until then it sounds like a pretty normal ultrasound of the uterus, appropriate to the day of the cycle.  (+ info)

Can a trans-vaginal ultrasound detect endometrial hyperplasia?

---

I was recently told I had endometrial hyperplasia.They used a transvaginal ultrasound to detect it but I was told by a different doctor that a transvaginal cannot determine if I have endometrial hyperplasia. But I don't know, I mean ...well I just don't know what to think.I honestly think that the diagnosis is correct because I know that the estrogen levels were high cos I was using the shot as a contraceptive.But anyway please help me out guys.I thank you in advance.
Im not entirely sure but i had a hystosonogram done 3 months ago.
The results showed polyps...i had to have surgery which was polypectomy and D/C to remove them.
After the surgery i met with my doctor and she said after the D/C was preformed the pathology report came back that my endometrial cells are abnormal, and my lining is abnormally thick...she diagnosed me as having endometrial hyperplasia.  (+ info)

Can endometrial cancer be discovered by just a transvaginal ultrasound?

---

I was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia 2 months ago during an ultrasound. My transvaginal ultrasound also showed abnormalities like an enlarged endometrial stripe. I go back on the 14th because the head of radiology requested for me to have another ultrasound to see if the stripe was still enlarged, the results my primary care physician showed me also said that cancer cannot be ruled out in the patient (me) due to age. (I'm only 22).
Transvaginal ultrasound can be used to measure the endometrial thickness. But, if it is thickened, ultrasound cannot tell us why it is thickened.

The endometrium grows thicker during your cycle, when the uterus is preparing for a pregnancy. If a pregnancy does not occur, the endometrium sheds, and you have your menstrual period. So, in a woman, still having periods, the endometrium will regularly become thickened, and this is normal. A repeat ultrasound, at a different point of your menstrual cycle, such as right after your period, is a good idea.

To diagnosis endometrial cancer, you would need an endometrial biopsy, so cells could be evaluated via a microscope. Best wishes....  (+ info)
