Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possible options of treatment for you are:
- Using hormonal pills especially progesterone pills for few months.
-Endometrial curratage, it is simple procedure and cost effective compared with endometrial ablasion.
By this the tissue can be sent for histopathological examination.
If no abnormality detected you can continue on conservative treatment.
If any endometrial abnormality detected, depending on the severity treatment can be taken.
Take care.
