Question 1

how is endometrial ablation used to treat dysfunctional uterine bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Dub and endometrial: Causes of dysfunctional bleeding should be determined by a biopsy before proceeding to ablative therapy.  If there is no evidence of cancer then the ablation can be performed to destroy the endometrial lining and prevent further bleeding in the future.

Question 2

anyone else have dysfunctional home like mine?

Accepted Answer

Many of us do: Tolstoy wrote that no two unhappy families are alike. But this is fairly common. Especially if someone in the home has mental illness and is noncompliant, the problem may not be solvable and you'll need to escape -- the military, excelling in school, something else that's socially useful. A pastor or other counselor may help. The french say, the best grapes don't grow from the best soil.

Question 3

what does endometrial currettings obtained mean?

Accepted Answer

Uterine lining: For a variety of reasons, a GYN will take a tissue sample of the lining of the uterus. This is frequently done to be sure that there aren't any worrisome cells present. The tissue sample is frequently referred to as endometrial currettings.  The method used to sample the uterus is called an endometrial biopsy or a D&amp;C (dilation and currettage). Good luck.

Question 4

i'm 19 and my endometrial complex is 11mm is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is fine - as you might be midcycle

Question 5

hi my endometrial complex measures at 5mm in thickness, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: If you are in your 20's to 40's, the thickness of your endometrium can be from 1-2 mm. to 5-6 mm. depending on the time of your cycle. This is a normal measurement.  Measurements of over 10 mm. will need a biopsy to make certain normal cells are present, as that kind of hypertrophy can be abnormal.

Question 6

what is endometrial pathology?

Accepted Answer

Lining of uterus: The endometrium is the lining of the uterus that changes throughout the menstrual cycle to prepare for the possibility of a pregnancy. Pathology means "the study of disease", so endometrial pathology could refer to any abnormality of the endometrium. When a sample is taken from the endometrium by biopsy or curettage, the specimen is examined by a pathologist for cancer or other changes.
