postmeopausal bleeding
I am 2 years postmenopause. FSH=142. Never had any gyno problems/issues for 23 years. No problems with menopause. No hormones ever taken. In great physical shape, health, etc. Recently started spotting with cramps and breast tenderness. Had biopsy. Diagnosis: Disordered proliferative endometrium with no evidence of malignancy identified. Pelvic ultrasound showed an endometrial stripe of 6.3mm with fluid in cavity and tiny subendometrial cysts suggesting possible adenomyosis. Family history of uterine cancer. Scheduled for D&C. Worried about developing cancer and want to know what is best course of action for my diagnosis. If D&C is best course of action, what should I be expecting in follow-up care?
That's what us women are here for - to support one another through the hard times, or whatever else is bothering you. I really hope the D&C works for you :-)
Had the D&C today and was anxious and scared but everything went well. Still feel it should have been a hysterectomy and I could have avoided this step. Would hate to be back in a few months or next year for same problem. Thank you to everyone for your comments- they reaffirmed my own feelings. It's comforting to have other women support one another during these times.
I had a hysterectomy almost 3 months ago because of pain. My insurance covered the surgery and the pathology report said all I had was Adenomyosis. I was worried too about cancer before the hysterectomy and this is why I had the surgery because of constant worry and monthly pain. If you have a family history of Uterine cancer then I would consider surgery. You need to see another doctor, like Madge suggested, especially if he/she isn't listening to you.
Let us know ok?

People have that done for those symptoms I am certain.....maybe you need a new doctor.
That was my opinion, too, but doctor told me that at this point, insurance would consider hysterectomy as "elective" surgery and would not cover it. I am currently considering paying for it out of pocket. I hate being put in this situation.
