Hi I am a 64 year old obese female, I have previously had bowel cancer in 2010 the cancerous polyp was removed with no further treatment but with a watch and wait approach. During a recent scan it was discovered the lining of my womb was enlarged. I had a hysteroscopy and they removed a polyp and took a biopsy. I had the results last Thursday, the polyp was precancerous but the biopsy was fine. The consultant wants to insert a coil to release hormones, he also stated I need to loose weight, I have recently lost just over a stone and am continuing this journey. I am worried about having the coil due to a number of reasons one being the possible side effect of gaining weight. I also don’t like to just blindly take medications unless there is no other choice. I’m also autistic so tend to over think things and examine all aspects before moving forward. I would like some help please with my decision, possible alternative options to help me move forward.

thank you
