Hi ,I'm new to forum , im 57 and currently had been on hrt for quite a while, my stories like a Craig David song lol , on Monday ( this week ) I had a small bleed ,on Tues the bleed got heavier, with a great deal of pain ,i managed to get an appt for GP on Wednesday ,who sent me straight to hospital, and in the space of four hours ,I was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia, had a biopsy ,a mirena Coil put in place and sent hone with tablets to stop the bleed , I'm still in shock all this has happened ,I'm telling my loved ones it's fine ,I'm fine ,it's nothing to worry about , but is it ? Is this pre cancer ?, I'm googling stuff and it's totally different, depending what you read !
Hello Debina
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you have been having some bleeding and been diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia.
Hyperplasia is not cancer but there are types that can, in time, in some people lead to an increased chance of developing cancer.
So there is something called hyperplasia without atypia- which sometimes needs treatment but is unlikely to develop further.
The other type has atypia which is more likely to turn into cancer if not treated.
Mirena coil/progesterone is the normal treatment.
I will pop some links with some info.

Hope this helps but if you need anymore info you could give the Support Line and talk to one of the nurses who would be able to answer any medical queries. The details are below.
