Did your endometrial biopsy show atypia?
"Patients with endometrial specimens that show atypia have about a 25 percent likelihood of progressing to carcinoma, compared with less than 2 percent in patients without atypia."
I'm having an EA on Thursday. I figure it's worth a try, being a simple outpatient procedure. I'm assuming you are past childbearing age? I'm fairly close to menopause so I'm hoping this gets me through til then. If not, then I'll resort to a hyst if needed.
I was considering EA or Uterine Artery Embolization when I had really heavy periods that they thought were from an oversized uterus and fibroids. An MRI finally diagnosed me with Adenomyosis, and the UAE wouldn't help that, so I had a hysterectomy. They also took my cervix but left the ovaries.
Best thing I ever did. No more bleeding, PMS is almost indetectible and before the surgery it was bad. No negative side-effects, sexual or otherwise.
I don't know your age or future plans, and I don't know if they advise pregnancy after EA or not. Not to push hysto, but it solves the bleeding problem permanently if they leave your ovaries you're not in menopause.
Hey--congrats on the good news, though!! I know you still have concerns, but..Whoo Hoo on your good news!!
