My family doc gave me a prescription for Prometrium (200 mgs) because I was terrified of taking the Provera again due to side effects and heavy bleeding. Any information on how one feels while taking Prometrium (vs Provera) and whether it works to bring on a flow but, not a flood? I'm confused and cannot get my OBGYN by phone or even and appointment to talk to her. Any help would be much appreciated.
It took awhile but it got under control and I now take only 2.5 mg of tapezole per day. I am still testing positive for antibodies so the endocrinologist wants me to continue. Last September I had my "female" hormone levels checked as things with my period were a little whonky - no period for three months and then three in a month. All my levels were within normal range and doc figured perimenopause.
Them my doc wanted me to try a generic estrogen which I would Lake for three months and then add or take progesterone for a few days. When I did this and got to the progesterone part, after two days I felt weak, couldn’t think straight, had trouble walking, had vision problems. I went back on the Premphase which was what I was taking and didn’t have any more of this reaction.
Is there any formal grading for a lump which has hyperplasia as the biopsy result?How will you draw the margin between usual hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia in pathology?Please answer.
regards....
Is this the place to talk about nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia??????????
My Dr has prescribed Prometrium 200mgs to be taken for the 1st 5 days of my next period. Everything I have read about this is that it is usually prescribed for 10 days before your period, so I am confused. Also, he mentioned that Prometrium will help protect me from endometrial cancer and possibly breast cancer. I read that it may increase the risk of breast cancer so I am totally confused.
Can someone help and offer advice? I am going for a 2nd opinion in December with another Ob/Gyn.
I am just looking for others who have been similarly diagnosed. Yesterday April 11,2019 I had Mammography invasive surgery.
The other breast has benign tissue with fibrocystic change and ductal hyperplasia which they just want to monitor but I have been called in for a surgical consultation for the lesion.
I am receiving conflicting information regarding treatment for hrt. I have a uterus in tact I was prescribed combined hrt progesterone and estrogen estarlis patches. Then I went to another gyno who said that recent studies have proved that estrogen only with uterus in tact is safer that in fact it's the progesterone that is toxic.
Is anyone receiving the same advice?
* mild hyperplasia
* hyperplasia of the usual type (without atypia) -- also known as usual hyperplasia
* atypical hyperplasia -- either atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH)
A woman with mild hyperplasia is not at increased risk for breast cancer. A woman with usual hyperplasia has a slightly higher chance of developing breast cancer. The risk is 1 ½ to 2 times that of a woman with no breast abnormalities.
Everything is going great. I am on baby aspirin a day and 200mg 2x prometrium. its working for me! progesterone does an amazing job at holding pregnancies, and the baby asprin is to thin you blood so more goes to the uterus. This can also help if you have a blood clotting issue. i have never been tested for anything but i wanted to try 1 more time first with these medicines and i believe its really helping me.
I've been doing some research on prometrium . I was prescribed prometrium since the month of Feb. In Feb.,I ovulated with the help of clomid and prometrium. My progesterone levels were 34. In March my cycle never came and I contacted my Dr on Apr. 9 letting her know I never had my cycle. She schedule me to take some test to take . On 14 my cycle visited and was very weird . her instructions for the prometrium is to take on cycle day 16 and continue to take until a cycle comes.
Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that affects cells in the breast. Atypical hyperplasia describes an accumulation of abnormal cells in a breast duct (atypical ductal hyperplasia) or lobule (atypical lobular hyperplasia).
Atypical hyperplasia isn't cancer, but it can be a forerunner to the development of breast cancer.
There is also a distinguishing between atypical and usual hyperplasia, which have different risk factors for breast cancer in the future. Does anyone know if the combination of the hyperplasia with the metaplasia as well, puts me into the atypical hyperplasia category? From what I have read, I am assuming I am in the "Atypical Hyperplasia" category, as they found the metaplasia as well.
I have been on prometrium for 6 months and have found it has helped me sleep as well as with the hot flashes, I take 200mg before I go to bed. The doctor suggested I try cutting it back to 100mg but the insomnia came back so I am back on the higher dose. I now just get the odd night sweat and hardly any hot flashes during the day. It took about three weeks for it to work for me so it's probably worth sticking with.
The process begins when normal cell development and growth become disrupted, causing an overproduction of normal-looking cells (hyperplasia). Atypical hyperplasia occurs when the excess cells stack upon one another and begin to take on an abnormal appearance. The abnormal cells can continue to change in appearance and multiply, evolving into noninvasive (in situ) cancer, in which cancer cells remain confined to the area where they start growing.
s been hyperplasia or one is high risk for hyperplasia because an ablated lining (endometrium) can mask hyperplasia and cancer.
Please do your research and advocate for yourself before deciding how to proceed. Hysterectomy is a major life (and anatomy) altering surgery. I wish you the best in getting proper treatment!
The side affects of the tamoxifin scared me away back then, but I have talked with my doctor and agreed that if this biopsy comes back atypical hyperplasia again I will then try the tamoxifin.Hoping for the best then on Friday.
Results came back Focal atypical lobular hyperplasia. Referred to general surgeon who was not familiar with lobular hyperplasia. What are the treatment options for this lesion?
Hi Madge,It's been sometime now that you've been struggling about the Tamoxifen.I know you don't like to take this drug because of it's side effects and so do I.Is your atypical hyperplasia estrogen receptive?.Even thought it's not cancer (Thank God) do doctors advise you to take this drug?If yes then take it if it means that it can protect you and give you peace of mind.My sister has been on it for the past year and she has very little side effects.
