How Effective Is Ablation For Prolifative Endometrium ?
Hi I am 41 years old and have had heavy bleeding for 3 weeks I had a endometrial biopsy results were prolifative endometrium. My doctor suggested hormones or ablation. 8 months ago I had simple hyperplasia without ataxia in which I took hormones and then a D&C because of continued bleeding. I also had endometrial tissue removed from the outside of my colon. What is causing all these gyn issues. Should I be worried about cancer? Will the ablation solve my problem?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
You have to understand that Proliferative endometrium in normal endometrium.
It is a part of the growth of the uterus endometrium in normal menstrual cycle under the influence of the estrogens in your body. Estrogen stimulates the endometrium to grow and thicken and lead to cell multiplication and tissue growth.
You have worry about the proliferative endometrium only when the growth is very fast and beyond the limits of the normal growth. This mean to indicate a cancer.
Yes. Ablation can solve your problem. In Ablation, the heat or cold destroys the endometrium and prevents it from regrowing.
Hope this helps.

Wishing you good health.
