Anyone have Endometrial hyperplasia?

Hi, I've just joined this today. I'm a 37 year old lady, married with two children. I've been really struggling with extremely heavy periods and went to my GP about it, who referred me for an ultrasound scan. The results came back that they've found 'abnormalities in the thickness and texture of my womb lining.' I've been referred for an urgent referral to the gynocologist for a hysteroscopy.

In the mean time while waiting for my appointment (it's been a few weeks) the last period I had I was losing so much blood I ended up in hospital and got put on medication to stop the bleeding (progesterone). I know somethings not right and it's scary waiting. While I was at the hospital they told me it's most likely Endometrial hyperplasia and they did a biopsy of my womb. They said I'll probably be waiting 5 weeks ish for the results, which seems so long and I'm just really worried about it. As I know it's a pre cancerous condition. And I'm still waiting for my original referral for a hysteroscopy.

It's just all come from nowhere and it's really scary waiting when you know somethings not right inside. 

Anyone else have this condition? I'm already on 6 Norethisterone tablets a day which seems the first line of treatment for it anyway 

  • I was a few years older than you when I was diagnosed with hyperplasia. I also suffered from heavy bleeding and was put on iron tablets and medication to stop or reduce the bleeding. The hysteroscopy also showed a large polyp and I had the polyp removed, the excess womb lining removed and a mirena coil fitted. I believe there is more than one type of hyperplasia, not all types are pre cancerous. The coil worked for me, no bleeding or any issues until I came off the coil aged 55 as post menopausal then the hyperplasia returned and I set off back on the rollercoaster of biopsies etc again. It's only natural to worry. Try and keep yourself busy. Waiting is hard and I hope you have a good outcome
