Hi everyone,
I have a few questions based on Complex Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atypia.
I am 18 years of age and was diagnosed with it after they found cystic spaces in my ultrasounds and doing a d&c and hysterscopy. Due to my age, my doctors opted for treatment to be the Mirena IUD rather than a hysterectomy. I've currently had the Mirena IUD in for about 2 months and am experiencing discomfort and abnormal bleeding.
For those who has experienced the Mirena IUD treatment:
1. Is the abnormal bleeding normal? (I've never had a period [which was the reason for initial investigations] and I bleed roughly every second day but not enough for a pad/tampon).
2. Did the Mirena IUD work for you?
3. If it did, did the hyperplasia relapse and come back?
4. I do not want children and I am set on that - should I opt for a hysterectomy, even though I am only 18?
For everyone:
1. Did the hyperplasia come back?
2. Did you have cocurrent cancer in the ovaries/cervix/endometrium that were not detected with the biopsy?
3. Can you offer any advice with this condition.
Thanks.
