Q: Endometrial Hyperplasia? Am Trying to Get Information About

asked by: Morning_Glory on March 28th, 2006

I was browsing the net earlier trying to find something that matched my symptoms and came across an article on endometrial hyperplasia. The article was pretty brief and from what I was reading it was just about on target with my symptoms which include irregular bleeding, thick uterine lining, swollen abdomen and some other things.

I also fit the profile for women that are at risk - white, overweight, started my cycles before age 12 and i'm over forty yrs old.

Has anyone on here had this condition? Or know something more about this condition? I am scheduled for a d and c on may 4, thats five weeks of uncertainty and i'd like to be informed on this condition as it seems to match my symptoms to a tee (at least I think they do).

sorry to get back to you so late on this. I had hyperplasia 2 years ago. Doctor recommended a hysterectomy, but was willing to try progesterone therapy first. Within 3 months my uterus went back to normal and I am now back to pap smears just once a year -- instead of 4 times a year.

Hope everything turned out okay for you.
