Overgrowth and thickening of the lining of the uterus is called endometrial hyperplasia. It is a precancerous condition with the potential to develop into a cancerous thickening of the lining of the uterus. It is most common at the beginning and end of the reproductive years and in women who do not ovulate regularly.
Menstrual bleeding begins with the release of estrogen. This causes the lining of the uterus to shed. As women approach menopause, not as much estrogen is produced. Unless the lining of the uterus sheds regularly, tissues and glands will build up and may later become a breeding ground for abnormal growth of cells.
Women with a uterus who take estrogen replacement therapy without progesterone are at a greater risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia. Other reasons for developing the condition are diabetes, polycystic ovary disease, or being overweight. If not treated, endometrial hyperplasia can progress to uterine cancer.
Symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia include excessive menstrual bleeding and bleeding between periods. A biopsy of endometrial tissue confirms the diagnosis. Sometimes a D&C is performed to rule out precancerous forms of hyperplasia.
Usually treatment for endometrial hyperplasia is with medication in the form of the hormone progesterone. The right form and dose are important to meeting the specific needs of the woman.
In all cases, a repeat biopsy is necessary to be sure the lining is normal and the hyperplasia is resolved. If a biopsy comes back positive for precancerous cells, a hysterectomy may be recommended.
Women can reduce their risk of endometrial hyperplasia by losing weight if they are overweight and consulting with their healthcare provider to identify and prescribe the right form of progesterone to take for their age and weight.it can turn into cancer..

Every single person that I know personally that criticize the contradictions have read the bible from cover to cover, what differentiates them from those that argue the opposite like you is that they seem to have higher functioning logical and reasoning skills as well as the ability to identify information that breaks down into insanity. I will not say anyone is of higher intelligence than others because intelligence can mean different things to different people but logical reasoning is something that can be well observed and agreed upon. As statement such as 1 + 1 = 2 can be agreed by the majority to be logical and true, but then you get another bunch of people that argue that 1 is not really one o the above mention expression is not true but fail to convince me that one apple that I hold in my hand is not one apple. When it comes to religion, every belief is subjective and would make sense to one person and not make sense to the other because everyone has their own preferences, objectives and wants in life, for instance some people like the idea of going to a place such as heaven after death and dread the idea of completely dying or going to hell, Myself for instance completely dread the idea of eternal life after death, no matter where it is because eternity is a very long time and even something perceived as a good place now will turn into a living hell if you spend too much time there(you would become bored out of your mind eventually), You would have to be changed into someone/something you are not to be able to keep sane for an eternity and I would rather cease to exist than be changed into something I'm not.

IF you are through with your reproductive activities, I would suggest hysterectomy, something I would have lobbied against a mere few months ago. The procedure was done laproscopically, so no big cut to recover from.
I had postmenopausal bleeding, and they did biopsy, which was read as benign. I had the operation anyway, due to severe fibroids, adenomyosis. Guess what, when they got it out, it was cancer, but had not invaded yet.
I have felt SO much better about life in general to get that bad actor out of my body. Maybe not for everyone, but a lifesaver for me.

This condition is usually cervical dysplasia(abnormal cells on cervix)The most common cause is the HPV virus which is a sexually transmitted virus men are silent carriers....your local health deptartment has alot of hand outs on this.....cervical cancer is one of the most curable cancers.....usually after someone has an abnormal pap smear....the doctor will do a culposcopy(biopsy)....most times this takes care of the problem and a repeat pap smear is done....if this doesn't take care of the problem the doctor then does what is called cryo surgery...where the cervix is frozen...in order to remove /slough off the cancerous cells.....if that doesnt work or if it has spread then the doctor will opt for a complete or partial hysterectomy depending on the womans age.....Hope all this informmation doesn't overwhelm you would be happy to give you more info/help if you give me more info(diagnosis)....in eather case before you have a hysterectomy of any sort....get a second opinion
