Have any of you had this happen to you Since 1994 Ive had frequent eposodes of Hyperplasia with Hemmorraging during Af .My Dr never seemed to concerned about it & was just now wondering is this derectly related to PCOS everyone of these episodes happened after a very long Annov cycle I read it can happen from exsessive estrogen.My af is now normal & very regular after Following the Atkins diet a year it took 9 months to restore Ovulation but now Im ovulating regular to.Im just curious if Im not the only PCOS victom thats had this happen?When it happened My uterus was a 10 week pregnant size.I feel alot better these days Thank the Lord!!!

Hi Faith,

Hyperplasia is an abnormal build-up of lining in the uterus. I imagine it is a common finding in women w/ PCOS who do not bleed regularly.

As you probably know, PCOS causes irregular cycles & some women never bleed. Both conditions can lead to hyperplasia, so yes, I would think that the hyperplasia could absolutely be a direct result of your PCOS.

HOWEVER...I am concerned that your doc isn't taking this seriously. Frequent episodes of hyperplasia is *NOT* a good sign! Hyperplasia can put you at a much higher risk for endometrial cancer. This is exactly why women w/ PCOS are considered a high risk group for endo cancer.

Following is a quote from this site: http://www.fertilitynetwork.com/arti...ticles-pco.htm

"Most women with PCOS have ovulatory dysfunction or absent ovulation. If the egg is not released from the ovary each month in a normal fashion, this can obviously lead to infertility. Anovulation may also manifest itself by infrequent or irregular menstrual cycles. In the absence of ovulation, the ovary does not make the hormone progesterone in the second half of the menstrual cycle. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus is not shed in an efficient and timely manner. After a number of years, this can place women with PCOS at risk for an abnormal buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) or even cancer. For this reason, women with PCOS who are not trying to get pregnant should be treated with progesterone-like medications to induce a normal menstrual period at least every 2-3 months."

Here is a link to google {search engine} http://www.google.com/search?q=endom...8&start=0&sa=N

I typed in the words endometrial hyperplasia & polycystic & came up w/ a TON of hits that would take all day to sift through. There is *DEFINITELY* a connection.

I hope this helps & glad to know you are doing better nowadays!

Take care,
Ronda

Rondabunny2 took the words right out of my mouth! LOL

Endometrial Hyperplasia is nothing to fool around with- but it IS treatable. My RE treated mine with meds for 3 months and my follow up biospy came back great! No abnormal cells- now there are no signs of it and my periods are regular!! That was well over a year ago

Let us know how your treatment goes!

*Aimee*

My Dr says that Yes it is from my PCOS but since Ive been Low Carbing my Cycles are regular & IM ovulating so its highly unlikely theres any thing to worry about as long as my Periods stay regular.I m glad I asked hes right since my Cycles are regular now My bleeding during AF is lighter then before still heavy but much lighter.My bbt temps even Show Ovulation now for the last 5 cycles the Hospital did a biopsy 4 yrs ago & they never gave me my results the dr says if it was bad they wouldve called you ASAP.I hope hes right but Im just glade I found LC works to keep my problms in check...Thank you for the links Im going to do a google search...Thank you both..

I had the same thing, which is what led to my IR diagnosis to begin with. I even had to have an ultrasound to rule out endometrial cancer. My gyno put me on Provera to kick start my cycles, now that my GP has put me on Met I am stopping Provera and hope the Met alone will regulate AF. Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one!
