so from my own research this is what i gathered:
Too thick endometrium means that the body has been producing too much oestrogens without the countercheck of producing progesterone.
Oestrogen makes the cells multiply and the tissues expand and the endometrium thicken.
it means the ovaries are functioning and producing the hormones of the 1st part of ovulation cycle- but no ovulation takes place and the progesterone normally dependent on an egg being released is not there.
this can happen over several cycle but no periods to shed the thickening lining.
too much oestrogen for too long is a cancer risk
sorry but this is the truth obviously bl*dy doctors hide it.I mean cancer of the endometrium.
but too much oestrogens is also a breast cancer risk.
moreover if the womb lining is too thick it is impossible to see exactly what is inside, or inside the womb muscle so if you are told you have no polyps/fibroids/tumour this is a lie as in reality it is impossible to find out until the lining of the womb has gone down.
of women who have too thick an endometrium if left unchecked eventually one in three (one third) will get cancer.
however the key words are if left unchecked.
It doesn't happen overnight,it goes in a sequence like this:
too much oestro + too little progesterone (= hyperoestrogenia) ->
lining of the womb thickening unstoppably ---> after a while some cells might become abnormal ----> after another while those cells will turn cancerous.
it is very easy to stop the process by administering progesterone one way or another, this will immediately stop the growing.
ideally and if these doctors were anything like real doctors they'd give some progesterone or a way to rebalance hormones at the first stage i.e. when the hormonal blood test comes back screwed up but they cannot be bothered.
they take a chance because often nothing much happens.
the body stops producing hormones altogether and the womb shrinks by itself.
the hysteroscopy/biopsy is done in order to ascertain whether abnormal cells or cancerous cells are already there or not.
if the womb is cancerous they often can tell just by looking at it on the screen.However they need a biopsy just in case it is only starting.
after that i don't know whether they have the same procedure for everyone or if it varies from clinic to clinic.
I was told i didn't have any abnormalities and my womb had come back to normal size and that was that.
not even a single mention of the c word, nor of the risk i went through, not what should have been done MONTHS ago etc,no prevention treatment, no explanations NOTHING
I didn't even get to talk to a doctor only a nurse.
no need to tell u u must realise i am furious imo they are taking the p*
i could swear the other c word until the cows come home. actually.
