[|AI|]  Hi, Let try to explain what "CYSTIC GLANDULAR HYPERPLASIA OF ENDOMETRIUM" is and will probably will satisfactory remove the anxiety/nervousness.  CYSTIC GLANDULAR HYPERPLASIA OF ENDOMETRIUM = Fluid filled glands with little thickened inner skin/layer of uterus. Now as far as the clinical research is concerned there are data supporting that its" NOT A CANCER" but classified as "PRE-CANCEROUS" Now pre cancerous means it not A CANCER per se but may convert to cancer in the future, provided the same stress full condition (for e.g. - smoking shows some pre cancerous changes but, after detection the pre cancerous stage, person still keeps on smoking then definitely he will have cancer in future and here the smoking is considered as STRESS FACTOR for the mouth cells) So in our case the ESTROGEN is the stress for causing CYSTIC GLANDULAR HYPERPLASIA OF ENDOMETRIUM which is a "PRE-CANCEROUS ", Now as you are already about the be a menopause / stop your period cycle, is good news as far as this hyperplasia is concerned, so due to menopause the circulating estrogen in the blood decreases as well as new production of estrogen (which is stress/cause) will decrease Chat Doctor.  ADVICE: Hence, PLEASE FEEL SAFE that you WILL NOT have a CANCER, BUT It's important to keep an eye on the lesion, so biopsy will be needed every year for first 2 years and then can be switched to once ever 3 to 4 year. Depending upon the doctors' opinion. Hope it cleared much of anxiety and helped to get through this difficult time!
